Default Calgary Area Gunsmith

Hi,

Looking to have a Rem 870 drilled and tapped to install a rail, any recommendations on a Gunsmith in the Calgary area?

Thank you!

For that kind of work talk to the guy at the Shooting Edge. Used him a few years back to DT a couple of guns, one a rolling block for Unertl external mounts. Tapping the barrel properly is not an easy task. Nice precision job exactly the right distance apart.


Rick at ATRS/Magnum Machine also does good work but I would call them and see what the wait time is. He can get pretty backed up.

Henry Rempel does great work. I have had him work on multiple rifles and shorten the stock on two shotguns. I've never had him do what you are asking, but I think he certainly could. He is also quite reasonable for cost and quite reasonable for delivery.

Also and excellent suggestion. I can't believe I forgot to put him in my post.

How would someone get ahold of this fellow? I have an 870 wingmaster that is acting up, it is starting to frequently jam on me.
