    Gunworks re barreling experience

    Hi folks.

    So often you hear of bad experiences, however I thought I'd share my experience of late with Gunworks.

    As many will know I've had to re barrel my 284.

    Gunworks had a Shillen select match grade 28" blank, 7mm 1 in 8 twist.

    I gave the team there a bell.

    Got it put aside.

    Anyway I got my rem 700 sent away on the courier the Wednesday before last.
    I sent it through Custom guns invercargill( huge thanks to Mac.)

    It arrived on Friday morning at gunworks.

    They started the process Monday morning.

    Every single step of the process I was updated what they'd done and why, from cutting the barrel blank to length, fluting, chambering etc.

    Amanda and Renell couldn't have done any better if they tried with their communication and customer service.

    From Monday to Friday morning it was done.

    I should have it back in my greasy Mits on Friday when I get down to Invercargill to pick it up from custom guns.

    Between Custom guns and gunworks I am super happy with the service of both.

    Would happily recommend either.

    Photos to follow when I pick it up and then load development and re mounting the vx6 after being sent for warranty which arrived home on Wednesday.
