Default Gunsmith in Edmonton

Hi all. I'm looking to get a muzzle break put on my Tikka T-3 Lite chambered in 270WSM. Any recommendations for a good gunsmith in the Edmonton area. Send me a PM if you know someone.

Thanks, Ken

Who is the gunsmith at KS Arms? I thought I knew all the smiths in Edmonton but that is a new one to me. Thanks.

Only other smith I know in Edm is Rod Henrickson I have had a bit of work from him done as well as friends its all been top notch. Some people cant handle his disposition for some reason but his work is always good in my experience. KS arms does a great job as well based on friends experiences.

Good to hear Karl is back in the game. He really is one of the best smiths you will ever find, particularly for metal work. Will have to go look him up. Thanks.

Karl just put a custom pic rail on my 300 win mag, and just installed a pic rail on my sons mares leg 44 lever action and put a muzzle break on his stainless Tikka 300 WSM, he was extremely affordable for the custom work and it looks awesome, hes very good. 780-437-1090, oh ya he was very prompt with the service dates.

Karl re-opened smithing in a big way this past January. He/and Mike are producing high quality actions and barrels. If I were buying another action, it would be a KSArms. Don't start rushing over there until he gets my next project done.

I know a few as well. AVL Guns and gunsmith in Spruce Grove and also another guy in South Edmonton with many years of experience. Both good guys.
