Gunsmithing Need gunsmith to chamber and thread for 264 win mag

[justin Storm]

I live in Gestapo CT and I'm having a hard time finding a gunsmith to chamber and thread a barrel to 264 win mag here. I'll ship it out if I have to find someone who has the reamers and is willing to do the job. Everybody I talk to here seems scared to do this for me. I don't understand.

What action is it on? I did one about a year ago on a Remington 700 shooting the 147 ELDs and it shot very well.

Its going on a trued remington 700 action with ptg bolt. This is going to be a hunting gun for me. Once machined ill set headspacing and assemble on a choate stock I have sitting around.

If you ship it out make sure you get a date when the work will be completed.
Some of the big name guys will take awhile.

Are you saying you only want them to chamber and thread barrel and you will set the head space your self once the machining is done are you using a barrel nut system if not then I can see why they wont touch it.

Should be pretty easy for any good gunsmith to do. Theres lotsa good guys on here that Im sure could whip it out for ya.

If it's not a barrel nut setup most gunsmiths will not chamber a shouldered remingtion 700 barrel for you to set your own headspace. If you look at his second post he talks about setting his own headspace. now if you are using a barrel nut system contact PVA or Bugholes they both chamber barrels for barrel nut systems.

You might find someone that will do it, providing you give them accurate measurements.
