Default ISO Barrel Info

ISO info on 6.5 barrel built by Ron Smith, I believe Ron is no longer with us.
Barrel stamped RKS12 and I would like to know information about the barrel.

I do have an older contact number but no response.

Related thoughts appreciated.

Thanks,

WHOA! REALLY?!
I JUST SPOKE WITH HIM!
I had not heard anything about Ron leaving us so figurex I wpuld check for myself!
Ron did not always stamp his barrels, RkS would have been done in 2012 IIRC.

So is Mr. Smith gone to greener pastures ?

Sad to hear of the loss of a well-known & recommended gunsmith.

No, he is still on this side of the grass!
I spoke with him yesterday and he is as redneck and cantankerous as ever, love the guy!
When I told him I was phoning because I was worried that he may have died , he laughed and said " Nope, not that I know of anyway!"
