Gunsmith needed in or around eastern New Mexico!

[shooter74]

I need a good smith in the eastern New Mexico area to do a chamber job on a rem 700 rifle. It's in 222 and will close on a no go gauge but won't close on a go gauge. I'm not sure if I'm leaving it as a 222 or just going with a 223 or 223 AI.

If I'm reading this correctly, you have a bad set of gauges, or you have them backwards.

I bought the rifle and I thought the same thing going off what he said I'm just going to recut the chamber. Bought off a man that built it yrs ago and never shot it.

Or someone to just check out the headspace and leave it be if it's fine.

I talked to the guy I got it from he was wrong it will close on a no go but not a field gauge. So it should be fine just not set up with minimal headspace.
