    Auckland Gunsmith

    After details of a good gunsmith in Auckland, only needed to check headspace of new bolt head being fitted on a 300 Win Mag.

    Cheers.

    Mildly excited by this Nibblet. Might leave the gongs up a bit longer.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Don't get your hopes up too high. Need to find someone with go/no go gauge.
    @Kiwi Greg by any chance?

    I was under the impression there were no gunsmiths in Auckland, I was looking a couple of months ago. The nearest I found was in Hamilton, this fella Cleland Gunsmithing and Engineering, he came pretty highly recommended.

    Arthur certainly knows his stuff. Catch him on the wrong day and he comes across grumpy as, but he's actually one of the good buggers.

    Gary McColl, MAE on the shore. For headspace gauges, you can rent them from Julian at Workshop Innovations in Coatesville.
    Nibblet and Micky Duck like this.
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    Fantastic. Cheers for that, just what I was after.
    @Rushy could you please give them a ring, off to sleep now.

    Gunsmithing seems to be a fast dying artform. I'd love to become one, but it appears it's very difficult to become one. You need to be an engineer to start with before transferring across to being a gunsmith.
