Gunsmiths
Want to get a rifle bead blasted
Anyone ever use Rod Henrickson Gun Smithing in Edmonton? Any good? Recommendation of anyone else? Thx |
I have had Rod do work for me, the work was done properly, and promptly, for a reasonable price.
|
Rod has limitations ...
May I suggest Clg shooting center |
Another one for Rod, but not too sure he does Bead Blasting.
|
Paul at PR PRECISION in Whitecourt does top shelf work, I highly recommend him :)
Bob Galloway at Custom Gunworks in Rocky , also. Cat |
I’ll put a Plug in for Wayne Macdonald (Custom Precision Rifles) in Devon
|
There is a slight difference in finish depending on whether it is sand blasted or actually bead blasted.
Sand or bead blasting is not a difficult chore. The clean up is important . |
Thanks for the suggestions and PMs.
My 300 weatherby has some safe kisses ans a little spotty rust as i am the 2nd owner. I thought id turn it back to brand new vefore i replace trigger and put its new glass on. This rifle has sentimental value to me. Also, with my dads passing in January, We found his ole cooey he though he lost lol. Its pretty rusty. ... ..... where do i need to go to get it cleaned up and cerakoted?? Is it a pricey procedure? |
Rod bead blasted my stainless .30-06 did a good job and quick turnaround

Sorry to hear about your Dad, Alberta Bigbore. My condolences. Nice to see you’re taking care of the heirlooms!

Yes, Bob has scaled back his gunsmithing, and he is not working in the patch. He’s scaled back things and is taking on work only from customers he actually likes……. Had communications with him yesterday, my latest build is almost ready! |

The work he did for me was excellent however. His father was a top shelf guy as well! Cat |

The shop is near ready to colapse .. |

This will be the 6th job he’s done for me, and I’ve never had a single issue with his work. I’ll be sure to share your critique to him………. |

What did you do sleep with his wife or shoot his dog or something? It's out of character for the Dick to instigate any conflict. |

I have a had few guns out to Bob and was not happy with the results . Is it an offence to speak the truth when the question is asked .. I am not impressed with the shop or the workmanship .. can I say that ..It's my opinion Others may disagree and that's fine In the end I don't care what Dick says or thinks |
My nephew took Bob a 270 win for a rebarrel. 16 months later he went and picked up his gun because Bob hadn’t started on it yet.

I find it interesting that some gunsmiths get great recommendations by some and the same gunsmiths are given a bad review by others .
It's puzzling for sure. I know of three like that, some can't abide them yet others applaud them!:confused: Actually, four now Cat |
A gunsmith in Three Hills;
Chris Griesbach (1-587-321-0848) Chris apprenticed with Martin Hagn and Chris's craftsmanship shows it. Chris worked for Martin near 20 years and was close to his family, before moving back to Alberta. |

A real gunsmith literally laughed out loud when he looked at the work. He thought I did it myself in the garage as a first time gun smithing attempt. |
Quote:
And worse, though a open forum is not where I am willing to discuss it. I certainly would not recommend him for work done. There are some excellent gunsmiths in Alberta and some terrible ones. Chris in three hills is incredible, his work is second to none. |

This was his second attempt on this particular rifle. The first time he gave it back the head space was out. It would swallow a no go without issue and the barrel had to be set back and rechambered. |
