South west-MAN?

[manitoumini14]

Hi,
Just wondering if there are any gunsmiths in the Brandon Manitoba area?
I would like a gunsmith, to turn a savage 340 30-30 into one that can shoot 30-30 AI.
Can any one help me?

 

[Why not?]

A little farther West, but David Henry has the reamer, and can certainly do that job for you.

The

big factor would be who has the reamer in MB for the 30-30 AI?

Call Rob Lamont at Jo-Brook firearms. He can probably steer you in the right direction.

Savage 340

.
You might want to re-consider. The Savage 340 action is not really regarded as a "strong" action.

The cost of the gunsmith's labour, and the special order dies you will have to use to load it, would probably run you about what a good used .308, or something like a Stevens 200 would cost you.

As mentioned, Rob at J0-Brook Firearms can probably help. Also, the Brandon Gun Show is about 5 weeks away, and there are a few gunsmiths there. I have heard that there is a guy in Erickson that does some work, but do not know who he is.

I know of a good guy down by Snowflake, Barry Funk. That's the only guy I know of in Westman.

The smith in Erickson is Steve Geletchuk, 636-2717. He is a member on Gunnutz as Gunpro. Evenings probably best time to phone or you can PM him on here. I think he's planning on taking the second week of deer season off to hunt. Kayceel
