Discuss work on firearms; whether that is making yours from the ground up, milling an 80%, putting together a kit, or fine tuning a trigger job.

Who in Phoenix wrenches on old rifles?

#1

Post by rick lee »

I have an Arisaka I suspect my grandfather had bored out to a more common US hunting caliber. I think he said it was .30-06, but he had two of them, one was stock, and we could only find one when he passed. I don't know which I have. Who can verify this with 100% certainty?

Also, I have a 1906 Winchester .22 pump. I think it needs a new extractor, which is beyond my abilities. I really want to put it back into plinking service.

Who can handle these two?

Wright Armory in Mesa can do a chamber casting to verify caliber. And they work on old guns as well…but finding parts can be difficult.

Took them to Wright Armory yesterday. They are not cheap and charge upfront, which I hadn't see before, but they sounded like could handle. Since I had no money into these guns before, I guess I can throw some money into them now.
