SabinoCarl Report post Posted September 3, 2019 I am looking for a gunsmith in Tucson, preferably east Tucson. I have a Christensen Arms Ridgeline 300WSM that needs bolt, ejector work. Please let me know any recommendations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IA Born Report post Posted September 3, 2019 When we lived in Tucson, Randy Lawson was my go-to smith. He's kept his dad's shop, Harry Lawson Custom Rifles, going strong. There are several great options in Tucson since I've moved, from what I've heard. Randy is definitely worth talking to, though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quienyo Report post Posted September 5, 2019 Just curious, what is the issue with the bolt/ejector? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SabinoCarl Report post Posted September 6, 2019 Thank you all for the suggestions. The rifle is now with Kyle Craig, who said that he has seen the issue before, and thus knows the fix. To Quienyo, the problem with the Christensen Arms Ridgeline ejectors on the “AR style” dual ejectors is that the ejector faces are “ sharp” angles, and the springs are too tight, causing brass shavings off the cartridges.

Quienyo Report post Posted September 6, 2019 Huh, I have a Ridgeline in 6.5 PRC. I've only put 60 rounds through it but had one spent cartridge stick in the chamber. Just making sure it wasn't something I needed to worry about. On a more relevant topic, I've heard nothing but great things about Craig's Customs. Sounds like he is the right guy for the job.

I know Tucson has had trouble with gunsmiths since Jensens closed. Good to hear about Craig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
