Not to disrupt or cause conflict in this thread but Westwind Rifles is a joke. He looked over my Garand and did a horrible job. Also did work to it I specifically said I did not want done. The bedding job was something I could have done myself, and he re-crowned the barrel against my wishes and made it look like crap (it's off center too). I would think he would have had the proper M1 Garand crowning tool. It needs a new barrel, plain and simple. And now needs a new stock, birch stocks are hard to find.

Here are some pictures of his work:



The bedding started to come off the first time I shot it.

Now back on topic, I don't really know who would be a good gunsmith to do the work as I really have no personal experience with ones that do that sort of work. I know it can get pretty expensive though.
