Bolt gun gunsmith inquiry

[021411]

I'll take it into consideration but it seems like each rifle smith has his own preference of parts to use. You ask 4 different people you get 4 different setups. I'm no expert but I think my choices are ok for the most part.

GA precision
APA
Tactical operations
Black ops precision

Most smiths will work on supplied parts

Has GA started working on customer supplied parts again? They quit for a while.

[BigJoe]

yeah they will still work on parts you send in

I've been in contact with Accurate Ordnance. Their quoted turnaround time is nice. I'm waiting to hear back from SAC and GAP.
I've also been trying to read up on Roberts Precision as well. I don't mind supporting the local guy but need more info on his builds, accuracy, etc.

I'd be very interested in what you discover about Roberts Precision. I would not mind giving him some work.

Kampfield custom too

Guys,

If you have questions all you have to do is call, or come to the shop. I will show and tell you around the place. It is a very no nonsense approach: Take good components, add great machinery, knowledge, fantastic indication equipment, and patience; you will get a rifle that looks and shoots great. 281-651-5593. I don't post often, but if you need answers the only way to get them is to ask the questions. You can look at our Facebook page, there are a lot of pictures on there.

Aaron Roberts / Roberts Precision Rifles

I just had the pleasure of chatting with Mr. Roberts on the phone. Very thoughtful and helpful, he had a lot of good advice regarding my precision bolt gun plans.

He's also someone that puts his money where his mouth is. Here's a photo of the rifle he created to benefit Marcus Lutrell's Lone Survivor Foundation.

Mr. Roberts, please accept my thanks for your time and advice today, and bless you for your work to help your fellow veterans.

I'm in Houston and fortunately enough RP Rifles is also in the Houston area (Spring). Thanks sadmin for turning me on to his outfit. I knew who Aaron Roberts was but had no earthly idea he was involved in rifle work. It was natural of me to inquire about it.
I paid him a visit today at the shop and got a tour/run down of his operation and how he built rifles. The shop was equipped, clean, and well kept. Obviously that alone doesn't make a quality smith. His work and attention to detail did all the talking.
His no BS approach to everything was a nice touch. He did not try to sell me anything or bad mouth other smiths at any time. I've been to places before and it was sell sell sell. "XXXX makes crap rifles." There was none of that nonsense. He left it to me to decide.
Aaron was totally down to earth and very understanding of what I wanted in a build.
Anyway I don't want to make this an advertisement but I just wanted to say that RP Rifles will get my hard earned bucks.

Thanks again Aaron for taking the time out to shoot the breeze with me this afternoon and sorry your late lunch got cold. You have a badass shop dog.
