I've used Felix at Dale Wise Custom Guns in San Antonio for a couple of things and have been very happy. Good work at a fair price and he's always finished well before the original due date.

I have several rifles from Dale Wise guns, back when Dale was the gunsmith his work was impeccable. It was a pleasure to walk through the vault and look at the finished work.

I dropped my parts and instructions off the Mark Pharr, this afternoon after work. According to him I'll have my completed Mannlicher stocked 338-06 back in 6-8 weeks. Just in time for Texas deer season!!!......lucky me.

Jim Kobe has barrelled two of my Mausers, a .300 H&H and 338-06 with good results. Easy enough for me to ship them to him out of DFW area also.

Last Monday, in an email exchange with Aaron Little about my .404 with feeding issues, Aaron said that he has a big backlog of work, and that he's gotten kind of choosey about which projects he will take on and has decided to not work on bolt guns at this time.

Just dropped parts off at McBrides. Robert "Bobby" Butell is an excellent gunsmith and I have been pleased with the three re-barrel jobs he has done for me. Robert built all of the first couple of TTH rifles. Notice I waited till my job was in line before I mentioned this gunsmith.

Michael Ullman is in New Braunfels. He is past President of the ACGMG. If he will do the work it will be top shelf.
