Gunsmith in Centeal KY

[kynjm82]

Well , I've got my defiance rebel hunter action , proof carbon barrel and carbon stock , trigger should be in soon and with the rest of my goodies. Now I need a reputable smith to put it together. I'm located about hr south of Louisville KY. Can anyone recommend someone in the area ? Hopefully within a few hours of me

Hey man! I'm in Frankfort, Ky. There's a Smith here (I've not used him before) but a couple of the guys I work with have and they seem to really like him. I've met him once....he's retired military and seems like a good guy. I could post his business card here for you if you'd like?

 

[kynjm82]

Yes sir , I'm just outside of Bardstown and would rather deliver parts and talk to him in person , that said I'm a RR contractor and Have no problem traveling .. but it be nice if it was close

 

[Deputy819]

Here you go, brother!

Welcome! Also, I know there is the 'Firearms Service Center' in Louisville, but reviews on those guys are pretty mixed.

He's not in Kentucky but Southern Indiana west of Louisville. Very good gunsmith!

Here's a pretty good write on him AND his "30 Major" wildcat cartridge. Pretty cool!

Now That’s Accuracy — Mike Ezell’s Tack-Driving 30 Major « Daily Bulletin

30 Major, a 6.5 Grendel necked to .30 caliber, puts five shots in one hole. Mike Ezell calls his wildcat cartridge the 30 Major, which is like a .070 longer 30 PPC.

I will absolutely second Isaac Frank-- he is outstanding, great communication, great man and when I was in Louisville he was the only nearby smith that I felt comfortable with.

Go look him up on facebook-- Southern Indiana Precision; he runs matches out at his place as well!

Thanks guys , I'm going with Brandon Clark of MenschenJager Amory in Frankfort KY. Hope to deliver my goodies this weekend .

 

[Deputy819]

You get your rifle back yet? A friend of mine who works for the City PD here dropped off his build (338 LM) to Brandon a few weeks ago and he said he saw a KILLER .280AI build while he was there. I figured that was yours....

 

[kynjm82]

Not yet , getting anxious. Hopefully soon , Brandon said he was planning on chucking my barrel up yesterday.. so hopefully soon
