    rechamber - gunsmith in palmy/manawatu

    Does anyone know of a business or local who does rechambering in the manawatu? And maybe pricing the job

    Of course, I forgot Jaco, but I was not sure of how close the poster wanted to drive to get work done.

    Yea kinda don't want to go hardy, there's a guy in akl but that's way to far for my liking.. heard about an Allan Carr out in waikanae, but seems like everyone's recommending Jaco ����
    Cheers fellas really appreciate it!

    Just curious, this seems to imply that most things done in kapiti aren't up to standard

    What chamber are you going to get done. Mike Collings in Whakatane has most reamers.

    I shouldn't have to explain it, but English and punctuation be strange beasts. Based in kapiti but does good work implies that despite being based in kapiti he does good work compared to the usually standard that comes from there. Which tarnishes a the reputation of the good folk of the kapiti coast, unless if course it's true
    It's a slow morning here, as you may have guessed🙂

    I read it as per the original intent, but I also see the likeness to the old saying
