I'm attempting to complete a Rem/age conversion and I just need a smith that will order a new bolt and true the new bolt and action (face only, no thread modification).  I know a few of you have completed Rem/age builds.  Who did you use?

Found a smith with a reputation for the work needed and more than happy to help.  I guess this can be locked.

Care to list this 'smith's name so others can be aware of him?

I was going to but decided to wait until someone asks.  I contacted Phoenix Custom Rifles and they pretty much said they're the perfect people for the job and have experience with Remage conversions specifically.  The hardest part has been finding a smith that would true the action and bolt WITHOUT touching the receiver threads.  Additionally, they offer a pretty quick turnaround of about a week (subject to change).  Now I just need to get a bolt ordered as my action was purchased from Remington without one.  Supposedly PTG is a victim of their own success and QC has been slipping for a while...but they seem to be the only option.
