[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 324905, member: 1441"] I just got back from a Krgyzstan hunt, where my rifle took a bad fall when a horse slipped and fell into a ravine, resulting in what I suspect to be a bent barrel. So far I have spoken to Mike Bryant in Texas, who is happy to do the work (rebarrel) quickly enough for me to do while I visit a friend, but if I don't get to Texas to visit a friend, Bryant is a little out of the way to get to. I might be going to New York for a business trip, so are there any good smiths in that area who could do the work over a few days max while I am there? I woud consider another major city, providing I can get a cheap flight there and then carry on to NY. You ask why not get it done in here in Italy? Because the only smith in the entire country who I trust with it and who initally built the rifle would take no less than 9 months and charge a ridiculous amount of money for an imported barrel and the labour. Thanks. Btw, the Ibex hunt was a great success, but I will post a full report once I get a bit more time. [/QUOTE]
