Is ridiculous.
Need a Savage barrel cut and threaded. Call me crazy, but I want a quote first instead of just handing it over and going home.
Emailed 144 Tactical, since it's just up the street from me. No response. Went in, and the kid working didn't understand what I was asking. Finally wrote down my contact info, what I wanted done, said the guy would call me. Big surprise, never got a call, text, or email.
Went to Dixie Precision. Guy said owner has the rona, no work is being done, and even when he gets back it will be a long wait while they catch up and are not even giving prices out.
Called Guns n Gear. The guy said I have to bring the rifle up there, when the 'smith shows up he will call me and tell me how much. I asked when will the smith be there so my rifle isn't just sitting in their shop. He doesn't know, the smith comes in when he wants to. No price given, that is up to the gunsmith.
I mean, holy shit. Is there anyone in the central ms area that can give a price and lead time for cutting a few inches off of a barrel and threading it?
