MikeinNCI need a new gunsmith.... (near Raleigh)
Just found out my gunsmith has retired and I need a CZ 17 caliber barrel rifle threaded the same as an AR (I have a can that fits my AR and I want to use it on this too, 1/2 x28 tpi)
Anyone know where I can drive the rifle to and get it worked on? Near Raleigh.
Do we have someone here who is a gunsmith? I'd rather give my money to someone I know than just some guy I just met....

stiabHi Mike, Granville Gun Works just up Hwy 50 in Creedmoor can do it. Jimmy Minor is the owner/gunsmith.

mini68rtI have had good work done by Ogburn gun repair. Looks like he has partnered with Triangle Shooting Academy.
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip.
The stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip.

SRMike,
Ogburn is hit or miss. IMO, more complaints than compliments. Long story but immediately after he returned a carry gun (small revolver) I showed it to my FFL who discovered what could have been a fatal flaw. Obviously, I would not let him within 100 yards of one of my firearms. Lots of bad reviews on local gun bbs.
The guys I use stay busy are really not looking for a lot of new customers. Email inbound with names.

MikeinNCGot it done at ECSI in Wendell.
I spoke to an acquaintance at Perrys Gun Shop and she and several others recommended Tom at ECSI just down the street from them.
I saw online he had two bad reviews and no others....but I get why he may come across as curt by the people who might begin to tell a professional how to do their job...
The transaction was flawless.
He was personable and even recessed the muzzle so I wouldn't damage the muzzle.
Price was very reasonable.
Dropped it off on Thursday around 1530..he called me at 0930 Friday morning saying it was done.
