Does anybody know of a reputable gunsmith around Corpus Christi or in the Valley? I am looking for somebody that can inlet and install CDI bottom metal on a Remington 700 XCR Tactical Long Range.

Thanks

Re: Gunsmith in South Texas

I do go to San Antonio often and I can go to Brownsville or Cotulla. I just wanted to hear some personal recommendations from some of you guys on here before I took it anywhere. I appreciate the input guys. Sergio: sure pm me the number if you don't mind.

+1 I walked out also ...
got quoted almost $300 to thread my rifle for my suppressor , After an interrogation WHY I needed one ? which is none of their business , then they could not give me a turnaround time !!
sent it to GAP and had it back in less than 2 weeks

Benny Hill of Triangle Shooting Sports on Leopard has done bolt gun work.

Mikes Guns Sales and Service in Aransas Pass does very good work at a very good price. Call after 10 a.m.

They are preparing to go on a shirt vacation, so get in touch soon.
 
Re: Gunsmith in South Texas

I would just drive to the post office and mail the stock and BM to Jeff Allen at CDI. He is fast friendly and does an excellent job. You will have it back in a week.

Re: Gunsmith in South Texas

Instead of recommending someone I need to warn you about a particular builder....

Aquila Firearms in La Porte, TX

I had a few rifles worked on by him and had multiple problems. I dont want to get into them here again but it was bad. Had to lawyer up in order to get my property back. He held my rifle for 11 months claiming I never paid him for work performed on another rifle. I had to produce an electric copy of the check cashed by him. It was horrible ordeal.
