Gunsmiths around Tipton County

[Scout103]

Hey y'all,

Ran into a snag doing a saiga conversion and need a gunsmith around Tipton county. I know I can google, but wanted to see if there were any suggestions from y'all. Already Tried Saltzmans, but can't get a call back. Thanks

I would keep trying Saltzman, you will get ahold of him eventually.

Then I'll just keep trying. Thanks

I'm not a 'gunsmith' but I've done Saigas and I build AKs. What's the issue?

When we were tapping the hole for the bullet guide the freaking tap broke in the hole. We need someone with stronger bits to re-drill it. We were using a hand tapper, not in the drill, and it still snapped with hardly any pressure.

I have only done it by hand. Snapping the tap is a pretty common issue.

Is Saltzman Gun Works not available? He is in Tipton according to Google. 30calmachinegunner here at INGO probably could do it. He's in northern Hamilton Co. You just need a skilled machinist.

Ya I wasn't able to reach saltzman at all, so I called around. I ended up taking it to a guy over in frankfort. We'll see how it turns out. Thanks for the help
