Fluting Gun Smith
Hello, anyone know any gun smiths that do barrel and bolt fluting in southern or central Alberta? Have a tikka T3 I’d like to have done. Thanks in advance!

I think Henry Remple does fluting. He is in Langdon.

Wasn’t there a guy on this forum who did bolt fluting? I remember seeing a thread or two and some beautiful pics. Trying to recall his handle, but drawing a blank. Not sure if he did barrels. But bolts looked amazing.

That was Scotty454. Unfortunately he is no longer able to do this.

^ Yes, that’s the guy. Too bad, people seemed to be pretty happy with his work and pics looked great.

If Cement Bench says Henry Remple, I would listen. Henry is a very good smith. It s not hard to send the barreled action in the mail.

Thanks for the info guys. Henry is going to straight flute my barrel but isn’t able to spiral flute the bolt. I found KS arms does spiral bolt fluting and will be sending it to them.

I could. But someone could also post what they paid (and not necessarily at KS) and then I wouldn’t have to call and have an idea what it costs at various places and so would others. No?

Anyone else have experience using them? Picks of his work on Facebook look great but limited.
