[stazmania]

As the title says. Looking for a smith that specializes/likes/is good at/ tolerates, as long as the work is good/guns shoot, who is your go to?

Chad Dixon at LRI does a lot of Model 70s.

I looked at the LRI web site. All the prices look good for the services preformed. Thanks for the info, very helpful.

Another vote for Chad Dixon. He actually has a M70 Classic Stainless that he is re-barreling for me right now. I did my homework, and LongRifles, Inc came up a lot.

I just bought a M70 classic stainless 338 win, soon to be a 7prc. Other than a rebarrel are you using any of the other services they offer? At the very least I want my action inspected to be sure it is true and the lugs are lapped. If not a full true/blueprint. Also a bolt firing system tune up.

Low Tech Gun Shop (Fred Cianciolo) in Simpsonville SC is great with Mausers.

I'm pretty sure LRI can do everything you are looking to have done. In addition to the re-barrel project, they are blueprinting my action as well.

I think the 7 PRC would be great on an M70 action.

Windage Weaponry in Gypsum Colorado just did an 03-A3 in 25-06 for me. Did great work and didn't take 6 months.

Mike McCabe in Colorado known as Z1R on many forums is a Mauser Gunsmith that does good work.

I like your style and your sense of humor Harry knutz. Thanks for the info. And to all the others that responded thanks for the info i will check them out. I have one or two mod 70/mauser type projects in me, then most likely going modern actions for the easy button. I have enough classic control round feed toys to last me a life time. I was eyeballing the ARM I think it is called the mausingfield action? any one have any experience/familiar with it. I am not hijacking my own thread, but it seems to be a modern version with some classic dna. Thanks to all

Yes he is. I've known Fred since the 70s and have two sporters he built - a VZ 24 and a K. Kale.
