Clyde Hart in LaFayette, New York, made rifle barrels, as well as doing all of the gunsmithing to build a rifle too. His brother Robert W. Hart, in Nescopeck, PA, built rifles, did the deep hole boring of rifle barrels for Clyde, and built the excellent front rest they still make and sell. RW also built 2 ounce triggers for Rem 700 actions.
Both Clyde and Robert are gone from the shooting range, and their children now run the businesses. Wally Hart, RW's son, runs the business in Nescopeck, and Paul, Clyde's son, does the barrel making. Paul's son, Jim Hart, does the gunsmithing there in LaFayette, so they are a complete gunsmith house.
I've been to both shops. For me, the Hart's in LaFayette are like family.
