Gunsmiths?
My dad is looking for a gunsmith in or around the calgary area. We are willing to go to Edmonton, but thats about as far as we want to travel. So any info on RELIABLE gunsmiths will be appreciated, and if you could post some links to there websites would also be appreciated.

I've mailed LOTS of stuff to gunsmiths. In fact I was commenting to someone the other day that my main hunting rifle is more traveled than I am. Don't be afraid of a long distance relationship if you pick the right one.

I'd agree. That's more than a bit of minor gunsmithing you're talking about there. I just shipped a rifle up to Corlane's in Dawson Creek for the same type of work. It's no big deal to ship a rifle. Don't pick a custom rifle maker based soley on distance away.

They do really good work, I have used them a few times myself. Rick at ATR also does good work and I've used him as well.
