    Savage GunSmith in LA area


    Dose anyone know of a gunsmith in the LA Ca area that knows Savages and is set up to change barrels? I live halfway bertween LA and Sin City (Las Wages) and the gs's up here want $100 to put on a set of scope mounts and then have to look in a book to see how its done. When home building went downhill all the plumber became gunsmiths.

    You could learn a lot and do yourself a favor, by getting wrench and barrel vise ( wood jaws in bench vise) and do the swap yourself. Plenty of information on internet. If you are reloading, headspace to your full length resized brass, or to new factory brass if that's all you shoot No gauges are really needed. Be sure to remove ejector and firing pin when gauging, and remember when barrel nut is tightened, HS will change slightly. You want bolt to just close on case with very slight drag without crushing it at all. It's not rocket science. First barrel removal, heat nut area with propane torch until just hot to touch.
