Many, many people are very familiar with them. What do you want?

Henry Remple, enough said. Not knocking the other guys but there’s just something unique about a machinist wizard, and his prices are insanely reasonable.

If your looking for a gunsmith to thread your barrel for a brake then id use rod.
His turn around time is a LOT faster

EM Precision is excellent. I have no hesitation recommending them.

Bedding, inletting, threading, drilling, trigger jobs, stock lengthening / shortening, and grind to fit recoil pads. I’d go straight to Rod.

I'd guess Prophet River could recommend a local.

I've got an old Model 70 with a brake installed that I'd like to remove. It came with a thread protector (second hand purchase) so it would seem that it's meant to be removed but I can't do it. Can anyone recommend someone in the Edmonton/Spruce Grove area that can do it QUICK and hopefully not too expensively? I see two names already but don't know who might be good at this task.

Before even going to a gunsmith, I would warm up the brake, and try again to remove it. Some people put loctite on them, to keep them from loosening.

I assumed that the OP would have already soaked the end of the barrel to over the threads in a good powder solvent.

Depends on what you need done. If you want a precision rifle made then go to Insite arms. If you have just general gunsmithing work needing done I'd hit up Oscar long at https://ribstonegunsmithing.ca/

Thanks for posting this, harder and harder to find guys that do rust bluing these days.

Rod Who?
Some people will know the name but I'm one of many who will not...
For myself, I can recommend K&S Arms and David Henry (Bentley Ab).

Rod Hendrickson is the name. Good gunsmith for sure.
Another is Wayne McDonald , excellent 'Smith as well, I belive he is in Spruce Grove .

He does great work. Though his turnaround time is so fast that sometimes a guy wonders how much of a gunsmith he actually is
