BR gunsmith in SW Ohio

[SteveOak]

I've decided to try my hand at SR BR. I bought a used rifle with a 6mm barrel. I'm looking for a BR quality gunsmith in the SW Ohio area that would scope the barrel for me and if it is good enough, setback the barrel and chamber it for me.

Borden TPE action, barrel manufacturer is unknown

Thanks!

Thanks @Bronsin 3 1/2" hours drive is further than I would like to go. Kelby's is not as far.

Steve I sent you a PM

You will probably have a tough time finding a GOOD gunsmith that is busy, setting back a barrel for you.
Most don't want to waste their time to chamber a used barrel.
Just giving you a heads up.

I'll set a barrel back with YOUR reamer. Not going to use mine.

Last time I called Kelbly’s asking about gunsmith work, they would only work on their own builds.

I don't mind buying a reamer.

I assume you have a bore scope.

Do you have an action wrench for a Borden TPE?

 

[LVLAaron]

Yes, I have a scope. There are also other methods to inspect a barrel.

I have a drawer full of wrenches. Never heard of the TPE but worst case I can easily make or modify a wrench to fit.

Jim Bordens first action. I believe it’s similar to a Nesika J which Jim also designed.

TPE uses the standard borden wrench. A Kelbly wrench will also work.
