Thread: Getting back in the game. Gunsmithing needs

Hi all life has kept me busy over the past few years and other things have kept me down but i want to get all my guns tidied up and ready to run at their best. I neglected bits and pieces on them because it was easier to shoot something else instead of figure out what was really wrong and excuses etc. I'm looking for a gunsmith i can sit down with and work through what i need done and needs to be one of the best. i used to do this with Harvey but sadly that's not a option. I have a 300RUM that may need a new barrel, a 204 that has 3 to 4000 rounds down it with a terrible trigger and a few others that id like to look at options with. so any opinions or options ideally in the south island that i could visit would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

That would be Greg Maniatis

What about Greystone gunsmithing?

Be easier and cheaper to flog the lot and buy rifles chambered in modern (post-2010) cartridges that shoot modern bullets, with factory ammo available.

300 PRC and a 6 ARC would cover both bases very nicely.

300wsm and 6.5 grendal covers everything

I've used Nelson Collie down in Invers if you get that far South
