I've been doing business with Dan for many years, but no response either by email or phone. I hope he doesn't have a health problem. Any body acquainted with Dan that can check or might know?
Thanks

I know Walt Armstrong out in North Pole and Dave Armstrong out in Valdez who often posts on here but I don't know a Dan Armstrong. Does he work out of a shop or out of his house.

Dan owns Accutig, http://accu-tig.com/. He is the go to guy for custom bolt handles. He is very prompt and reasonable.

It may be that he is super busy with Alaska Ammo range and self defense training center. I think that in a cursory search that he teaches a lot of classes over there. I would call them.

My first, and last, dealing with Dan was when I asked him if he would weld a Mannlicher style spoon handle on my Borden Rimrock 30-06 as the handle Jim built was good but it protruded more than I prefer on a mountain rifle.
All Dan said was “I won’t install kitchenware on a Borden !”
Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master Guide, Alaska Hunter Ed Instructor FAA Master pilot www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.comAnyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.

All Dan said was “I won’t install kitchenware on a Borden !” As good a work as Dan does thats his call for whatever reason but I wouldn't take him off the list as what he does do is top notch. I wanted a new bolt on a Rem 600 or 660 I forget which it is. He just went and got a box full and said take your pick. Granted its not a borden gun. Of course I would have asked why. But he does really good work. I'm sure others do also.

That's a hell of a claim! Talk to him on the phone some time. You'll know what i mean. Whatever you do, do not ask him about triggers!

Dan has done a half a dozen or more Bolt handle jobs for me over the last 10 years or so. There have been a few that he refused to do whiched forced me to fire up my tig welder. It worked out, but I'd have rather had him do it.His work is always excellent, but he certainly has opinions.
Glad to have seen this thread as I sent him a Bolt a couple weeks ago and I've been getting nervous since I would normally have it back by now

phil,
I believe your borden action has a one piece bolt from borden and may require something else to make it work or made shorter ...I would call Jim first
