I'm looking for a good gunsmith on the southside of ATL!

I'm looking for a good gunsmith on the southside of Atl kinda close to Newnan. I'm looking to modify a 91/30 Nagant into my own version of a scout rifle. I'm wanting to cut the barrel down to 18.5 inches and swap stocks and set it up for an optics. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

I'm still looking into scope mounts for the 91/30 & haven't found anything affordable that I like(quality/durability wise).

I am planning something similar.

You have Mr. Tommy at Lock, Stock, and Barrel in Grantville...12 minutes outside of Newnan proper

Only problem with Lock, Stock is that Tommy is never open when I'm home off the road so I was seeking alternatives. Thanks though.

Well, I was gonna say Tommy @ Lock Stock & Barrel but you said he's never open when you're home. Don't take it to Bob's custom firearms in Palmetto cause he'll just look down his nose at you cause it ain't a $2000 rifle needing a trigger job, I had a VERY BAD experience with him some years back with a damn Colt Officers .45.....he ruined it, turned an awesome little .45 into a piece of junk!

Steve Parsons is between you and Griffin. I think he can do this for you.

Wow hate to hear that you had an experience like that but good to know he's a gun snob. I refuse to deal with gun snobs and folks like that ruin and run off alot of possible customers.
