Anybody got any pics of guns that Mickey has put together for you? I know he is on this site and can probably show me some himself but I was just curious. Just talked to him earlier today and he is an extremely nice individual and I was impressed with him and what he had to say. His prices and turn around were very good as well and I am probably going to have him put together my next rifle. Just wondering if anybody has any thoughts on it? Can anybody show off any guns? Thanks
Lee

I have nothing to show but I can say Mickey is a top notch guy and seems to do great work. Do a search and you will find plenty of guys use him.

Yeah I have found that to be true. Just thought I'd check. I don't have any worries about Mickey. I am waiting on my action to get here so I have a few weeks anyway. Something to kill the time by looking at guns. Thanks

264WM

308

223AI

I have no M/C rifles but I have spoken with the gentleman and he is as nice as nice gets and you will receive every droplet of skill that he possesses. The reason he aint nicer than he is is that more nice wouldn't fit.

Thanks Paul, those look good. I am digging both of those calibers. I need a 264 WM and a tactical hunter style 308! Any specs for me?

Mr. Coleman built a 350 Remington Mag. for me a few years ago. It is a very good shooter & you will be happy with his work. The bottom pic shows how impressed a Texas hog was!

MRC 1999 action, Douglas barrel, McMillan stock.

I have known Mickey for a lot of years. Mickey is a real gentleman and a very good gunsmith.
Butch

Mr. Coleman has always been super nice to me.... + he's from the great state of AL

Here's a few that he rebarreled for me. All are great shooters. All M7 actions, Douglas barrels, and McMillian stocks (laminate restocked to the final pic).

Top: .308
Middle: .358
Bottom (last): .223AI

That's a fine looking trio you have there.

I have two rifles coming from Mickey that have a few special features that I will show-off when they're finished!

Don't have any rifles to show, but can attest that he's one of the good guys. I had a project being put together and mu GS couldn't find a M700 recoil lug and Mr. Coleman sent me one and wouldn't charge me for it. If I do have a Rem-based rifle built I plan to have him do it. I've seen enough of his rifles on 24HCF that I'm convinced he's a very capable GS.

Paul,

What is this wicked lookin' bastid chambered in? And is that a Faulks call in the other pic on top of the deer?

maybe this will work.??

He's done two for me and will put a 250AI together when parts arrive. He does good work not much else to add.

You sure you didn't steal that rifle from Shirley Muldowney?

What is Micky's contact information? Phone, address?

Mickey has the reputation of being one of the very best chamber men in the business.

It's a 308 Win and yes that is a faulks call! i love that call!

forgot about this one. 7-08 i had put together for my wife.

I really dig that short barreled .308. Gears spinning now...


Travis

Micky is one of a hand full of guys that I would trust to build an entire rifle.

Is he still around? I need to contact him

I like the Mickey pattern on the .223AI a lot. Do you remember which colors were in the mix???

Texas

Hey Texas,

It's 34% Dark Gray, 33% Black, 33% Medium Tan. The "Coyote Bomber" pattern with equal %'s. Thanks,

JCM

Rifle in front is a Coleman-built 223. One of, if not the most, accurate rifles I own.

He built my last custom...............

When I tried to contact him for a Wby rebarrel job last year he would not return my e-mails, voice messages or answer the phone. He finally responded on a p.m. and would not accept the job. I never said or did anything to provoke him to such a degree. I wrote him off.

Reloader28,
I sure don't know about your situation, but that is not Mickey. As you can see from all these post he is very respected. I have not had Mickey do any work for me as I do my own, but have visited with him at his home and know what he does for the BR crowd.
Sorry your deal didn't work out.
Butch

I tried to search his user name for a PM here, but couldn't get him to come up. I haven't seen anything posted from him here in a while, but I've not been hanging out here like I used to.

Jesse he is posting on the hunter campfire forum. Go over there as he has a current post going on how his upgraded Picasa photo program lost all his photos.

He put together my 280 Mountain Rifle. Work was great, fast, and price was fair. He's one of the good guys!

Here is a 308 he built me

The rail Swaro didn't cut it?

Not to hijack the thread, but what's the specs on that rifle and the groups?

-Stiller Predator Short action with REM extractor
- 22" Mike Rock 5R Barrel, #4 Contour, 1 in 11.27" twist
-Sako Hunter Molded in Dark Camo with 1" Decelerator in ADL configuration
-2 stainless steel sling stids
-Jewel Trigger @ 1.75 pounds
-Black Cerakote everywhere except bolt, I want to get it done as well though
-S&B 3-12x42 in Talley LW's
-Williams Trigger guard
-weighs 7 3/4 pounds without scope

My momma always said that if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anyting at all.....so I should not have said that

hardin284, I've had that same problem...

Mr. Coleman told me he had a real good 308 reamer. I have to agree!

Mickey had some medical issues last year & spent some time in the hospital & recuperating at home. Its possible you may have tried to contact him then.......

he's done three for me...one waiting to be picked up right now. Here's a .223 walking varminter he did on a Model 7. Great guy, would not hesitate to recommend him.

here's a leftie .257 Roberts he did for my daughter...six and a half pounds all up and shoots sub-1/2 MOA with factory loads:

I would choose to believe that was likely the case. I would not have any reason to think negative of him.

I'd be much happier if someone refused to do some work if they didn't have the time rather than take it on and let it sit. Medical popping up is totally understandable as is life. Mickey is like the rest of us and hasn't had a perfect ride in life either.

If he refused then, and you haven't found anyone give him another call.

He's building a custom .308 for me right now from a stainless 700 .308 Mountain Guide. Spoke to Mickey today and he already has the action blueprinted and was waiting on the #3 Douglas barrel to arrive this afternoon. He'll be bedding the action into the Ti stock. Wanted to step up one diameter from the Mountain Rifle barrel contour, which is equivalent to a #2 Douglas.

I hope he can keep our stuff separate! I'd hate for him to send you my faux NULA!!

Clay

If your wanting "a step up from mountain contour" I'm thinkin the #3 is a real big step. Its like a magnumb contour(Mickey has put two Douglas #3 on actions for me). The #2 Douglas would be closer to a sporter not mountain rifle.

Will be a super nice build for shure. Mickey does a great job.

Kaleb is right on this. 3 is a fairly beefy barrel

Mickey built this one for jds, although I enjoy it now. I had to use his pics, though, since I don't have any of my own.

25-284 and currently wears a 3.5-10 VX-III:

That's good to hear, I wanted a sporter-magnum profile so sounds perfect. Have more than enough rifles with mountain rifle contour barrels and been leaning toward more weight out front.

Really likin' the #5 Broughton on my GAP Non-Typical .280 in the McM Edge stock. It is defintely a heavier contour barrel and loves the Berger VLD Hunting pills.

I'm sorry but I don't remember this incident at all. It's my habit to return calls and e-mails as soon as I learn of them. Can't imagine what went wrong here. My apologies.

Jesse, I seldom go anywhere except the Hunter's Campfire forum. It's just pure chance that I stumbled on this thread. You guys are making me blush. Keep it up!

Damn,
I started to call you today to wake you up! You are going to the SS aren't you?
Butch

'Fraid not. My eye problems makes it impossible for me to sight a rifle with any degree of confidence. I've really lost interest in shooting. I'm down to one BR rifle/scope and may sell those. I gave my Hood press to Tim Gardner if that tells you anything.

I did consider going just to visit and may yet decide to do that but not to shoot.

Mickey,
The visit is the best part. The Aussies are flying in the 18th and stay with us until the 22nd. I will carry them and Jay Lynn to the SS. I'm sure not going to kick everybody's butt, just to renew friendships with our friends from about the World.
Take care of yourself and I hope to see you there.
Butch
