[Last Edit: DMark]
I'm looking for a new gunsmith in the greater Nashville/Middle Tennessee area. The fellow I had been using for over a decade has moved on to bigger and better things.
In particular, I need someone who can do an AR Barrel cut & threaded to 1/2x28. Thanks, Mark |

He also used to beat my ass (and everybody else's) shooting USPSA back in the 90s. He is a Grand Master. Chopping a couple of inches off of an AR barrel would almost seem to be a waste of his vast gunsmithing skills and talent.  |

I’m in west of Clarksville, and I do a fair amount of barrel work like that.

I did, maybe our paths crossed there. Jeff did the work on a Colt Gold Cup I was shooting back in those days (long before I got into that business) |

BTW - - - The old North Tennessee Practical Shooters USPSA club is now Strategic Edge USPSA in Chapel Hill, TN. SEGR even uses the old NTPS club number. |

I wasn't there for every match but I did really enjoy it. Lots of good memories. |

Ah, you forgot my buddy Curtis McMahon I swapped email with him a few times in October of last year and he's still hanging in there.Somewhere I had printouts of some of the matches back in those days. I just looked and couldn't find them and I sure wish I could. They listed all the shooters and it would be good to see all the names. The few you posted brought back a lot of memories. We had a great time back then, I would truly love to do it all again. |
