Flaigs was a highly respected gunsmith located just north of Pgh. Pa. I have seen there work at various gun shows in the area and it was always high quality and commanded a premium price. In western Pa. owning a Flaigs built rifle was a sign of wealth, their work wasn't cheap. I once owned a sporterized Arisaka 38 re-barreled to 257 Roberts, not by Flaigs, it was a well built rifle that was very accurate. I just never could get used to the awkward safety, it was hard for me to operate. If you could handle one before buying I would recommend it.
