Magnum Gunsmithing

[mikeb71]

Kudos to Magnum Gunsmithing in Lima, OH. Glen re-threaded the barrel on my L1A1, adjusted the headspace and even threw in a flash hider he had pained to match the barrel. Definitely above and beyond the call of duty.

Glen is wonderful smith as well as a great guy to deal with.. I have had the pleasure of working with him on a number of projects..
Congrats on the repairs and enjoy your rifle.. :beer:

I had one of Glen's FAL's pass through my hands as well... Mojomatic to me to my nephew as a high school graduation present. 50.00 type. Of my 3 FAL's, it was easily the "purdiest."

Nephew is VERY happy. Even 2 years later.

Glad to hear. He's currently working on barrelling an M1 receiver with new Criterion. Met him once, seems like a good guy.

I am considering Magnum Gunsmith to assemble & refinish an L1A1.
I found this thread and was looking for any feedback on their experience there

He did a nice job for me twice, much better than Moses, who fucked up a number of things. This includes both an Imbel/DSA receiver FAL and an AK-74 built on a Bulgy kit w/ Nodak receiver.

I appreciate your response
You can read reviews all day long
But I would rather reach out and hear from folks that have had work done
Thanks

 

[ByronF]

My experience was good. I forgot he did that job.

Just got a Romy RPK back from Glen. It looks and feels great. He is one of the good ones.

Thanks for the reply
Did you have refinish work done.
I’m not that familiar with cerakote

It's a real pleasure to read something positive about a gunsmith rather than the usual bitchery. Filing Magnum Gunsmithing for future reference, Ohio ain't that far.

I'm glad to hear he is still doing projects. Hes an OG and does good work.

Years ago he did an Argentine para FAL for me that turned out great. I sold it to a member here, still unfired, and he was more than satisfied.

I thought he was out of business as I sent him a message through his website several months ago and never got a response. I'm glad he's still doing work.

I don't think he's independent anymore, but works with a gun store up in the Youngstown area.

Cool, I'll talk to MP and get his current information.

I had Glen build one of the G1 kits that DSA put together in the late 90's / Early 2000 .. Some of the old timers remember them .. Most were non-matching but were all hand picked parts .. They parked most of them .. I got mine in a trade and sent it to Glen .. It was beautiful .. I traded it for a 1917 Winchester Saddle Ring Carbine, last yr, that was in 90% condition .. I found it a month ago in Birmingham at the Gun collectors show .. Guy couldn't sell it .. ?? .. I bought it back for $1900.00 .. I'll post a pic on this thread .. tomorrow .. Never fired since Glen built it ..

Glen is a Master Gunsmith .. When you see the G1 you'll know why .. !! .. He put a black duracote finish on it and did all the letters and numbers .. I wouldn't take 3 grand for it now .. !!

If you want the best .. send it to Glen .. !!!

I almost forgot He also did 2 Romy RPKs for me .. Sold one to Gobbler and kept one .. Still have it .. Slickest AK type rifle I've ever owned .. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also blued a 1911 for me .. Beautiful .. He can do anything with anything .. Not a one trick pony like some around here ..

I'll post some pics in my old "WOOD" thread also .. Glen deserves some recognition for his great work .. !!!
