Gunsmith?

[Grizzly Johnson]

Anyone recommend a very good gunsmith in the middle/west Tn area? I need a barrel threaded, tactical bolt knob installed, and looking to have all the gun metal cerakoted. I have reached out to 2-3 places already with little to no response.... I don't know if they are just so busy or don't give a s--t about customer service.... but I am getting a little frustrated.

Thanks for any help.

If you are looking for a pretty fast turnaround on all of that, check out Long Rifles Inc. They do outstanding work, but are not in TN.

These days, I hate to think about it getting lost in transit.... that's kinda why I would like to stay within a couple hours drive of Nashville area.

Thank you for the reply just the same.

Which 2-3 have you reached out to?

My vote is WHMC in Humboldt, TN for true gunsmithing work. Call before you make the drive. I dropped a gun off this spring and they had so much work that they were "pausing new tickets" for 2-3 weeks so they could get caught up. They took my gun, but mine was the last one that day, and last one for several weeks. I picked it up about a month later, maybe a little sooner. Also, check out Southern Cerakote near Henderson, TN.

I forgot about Greg somehow. He is a great gunsmith. I have a rifle he built that shoots like a laser. His website is bugholes.com

My son-in-law is a competitive shooter by hobby and a gunsmith by trade and he provides all the services you're needing. You can see his work on his Facebook page "Competitive Shooting Solutions, LLC" and his shop is in Anniston, AL but he has rifles and pistols shipped in almost every day.

Thank you all for the info.... It gives me a place start contacting them to see what I can get done. Will keep you posted.... thanks again.

I have had Greg put breaks on 3 of my rifles, and a re-barrel on a Rem700.
Always excellent work done in good time.
He has expanded his workers to keep up with the demand.

Greg is the only one so far to return my emails or phone messages.... This will be the guy I am taking my rifle to have worked on, or anything else in the future. Thanks for the help to all who replied.
