Does anyone know of a good gunsmith in the San Antonio/Fredericksburg/Kerrville area? The best I've known is Don at Don's Guns on LP410, but that's way in for me and, if he's still alive and kickin', he's just a very crusty old curmudgeon, plus he and his daughter smoke up the little place worse than any bar I've been in.
I've tried a couple of nice guys out in my area (Fair Oaks/Boerne), but have had to take very simple work back to them to get it right, and both of them seem to be more pistol gunsmiths than rifles.
Don't ever need anything major, just want to have a recommendation. Thanks.

There's a smith in K'ville, on the left side of the road into town from I-10; maybe two miles or less. He has a good rep amongst a couple of shooting buddies of mine, but I have no personal experience with this work. Hill Country Arms; 1013 Sidney Baker; 830-792-7722. Call to verify his business hours.

Ive had larry at nagels guns build 2 rifles that are gnats a$$ accurate. Lead times are lengthy but man they shoot.

I think Lex Webernick (Rifles, Inc) is in the San Antonio area. He's nationally known. Did my 220 years ago.

Patrick Blueeyes at Navajo Smith is one hell of a gunsmith. I'd trust him with any project of mine.
