smith in Edmonton

[martinbns]

Looking for a smith in the Edmonton area. I damaged the bolt on my Sako Av and need to get someone to look at it. I am down next week.

K S Arms Ltd is in the phone book. They can do good work.

I think that your only real choices are "Lock & Load" or "KS Arms" in Edmonton.

Be warned however that depending on what you mean by "damaged bolt" both of them will probably be quite backed up.



KS Arms was where I learned what "gunsmith time" actually meant....

Bashaw Sports in Bashaw... Probably one of the best in that area.

Turns out to be a false alarm. I shot some handloads in my Sako AV that were two hot and I blew a couple of primers. i didn't notice the first, but withthe second i had a hard time getting the bolt open. When I finally did, the extractor had popped out. I didn't look too carefully at it and just popped it back in. I thought I had done damage to the bolt itself.

Apparently this is supposed to happem with these if a primer is blown, it's flips out loaded factory cases no problem. I'll check it when I fire next, but I think it's OK.
