Gunsmith Recommendation in San Antonio

[Bull84]

Have a pre-tang safety Ruger M-77 30-06 that has a bulge in the barrel.
Who you you recommend to replace/fix? Also going to need a new stock

Thanks in advance

Check out KDF in the seguin area or hill country rifles I’ve never worked with either but have heard of both.

Near where?

You could check with Dale Wise Custom Guns off of Blanco near Olmos park.
Had him re-barrel a few of Ruger’s back in the early 90’s. Dale has passed on but believe an apprentice took over the business. Dale was a hoot and a great smith, a true old school guy. He helped influence me into building my own.


Just an FYI, it isn’t going to be cheap.

Go see Larry Wengler @ Durys.

I’m on the Westside down Culebra.

If that isnt your #1 sentimental gun you're cheaper off "junking" it. Decent barrel 350. Fit and chamber will be several hundred plus price of a stock.

Several years ago I rebarreled a Ruger 7 Mag with a new take-off barrel I bought on-line from an Ohio gunsmith shop. Had to fill the screw holes from the front sight and do a bit of blue touch up, but it was by far the least expensive route.
