    Suggestions on a gunsmith for cut, thread and flute on a Savage Bolt gun.

    Greetings Gents,

    I am in the RDU Triangle/ Fort Bragg area of NC. I would like to deal with someone local but would not be opposed to shipping for good work.

    Any suggestions welcome.

    Want to get a Savage 308 cut to 16.5 threaded and fluted maybe cerakoted or duracoated too.

    I can do cut, crown, thread and flute. Don't do finish work.

    Keep in mind the barreled action must be fully inletted before sending out the metal for finish. A pro gun builder may be able to pull it off without putting marks on the barreled action, but it takes a lot of experience to do it.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Anyone else have any suggestions?

    I had the Savage done locally but would love if I could find someone to work on some Handi rifle barrels.

    You can look on line for prefit barrels and do it your self for the savage.If you can find the size and fluted barrel you want. A lot of premium barrel companies out there and some you can order size fluting and finish .
