I live in macon, ga. and am looking for a gunsmith to fit and chamber a barrel blank to a rem 700. would prefer macon, warner-robins, but would go to atlanta if need be. only other option is to ship it out, which i w2ould rather not do. thanks

I don't believe you'll find a better smith or person to work with than Robert Gradous!! It will be right!

i have 2 APA 223ai's, APA is excellent in all aspects.

and Robert Gradous is one of the BEST in the country a true craftsmen. you have a tough decision.

Don't know if he is still alive, much less working, buy My Grandfather who lived in Perry at the time used a gunsmith named "L.D." in either Macon or Warner Robbins, not sure as this was in early '80s. May or may not have had a gun shop called "Liberty Gun Shop". No records these days, but you might call around, If you find him, let him know Baily Harrison's grandson said hey...

I live down in Perry, & I drove the 3 hours to see Robert Gradous. Well worth the trip & you couldn't ask for a nicer, better, more meticulous gunsmith than Robert.

Search his name here on the Hide.....you'll find plenty of great threads about him!
