A ? for Anchorage/Alaska members...

I have a sporterized 6.5 Jap. It's pretty decent with a good stock. I would like to have it drilled and tapped for a scope.

I am traveling to ANC in a couple weeks and can bring it with me. Does anyone have names / contact info for ANC or maybe valley people who offer this service?

Thanks in advance.

Wild West Guns should be able

I honestly forget they are there. Thanks WAB.

Hawks Gunsmithing. He's been around a long time, works out of a shop connected to his house. If it needs to be done immediately I'd give him a ring ahead of time, he is a one man shop with no shortage of work on his calendar.

I was in WWG shortly after they got "famous" for tricking out Marlin lever guns. Arrogant bunch who had no interest in helping me if I didn't want to pay them a ton to convert my gun or buy one of theirs at an inflated price. I was not in their store for either reason. That was years ago, have driven by probably 50 times since, never bothered to go in again.

I have had a couple of friends express similar experiences...

It is strange how some gun shops seem intent on driving away business. The worst is walking in to a shop with the old gang hanging around the counter. They all stop talking and look like you’re interfering in something. The owner doesn’t even ask what you would like. I just walk out and never go back.

I repaired an old barn find 6.5 Arisaka that my father in law had a few years back.. those actions are incredibly strong, and the 6.5 is super light on the shoulder…

With a decent scope on top of it, it’ll make a pretty cool black tail rifle that should be a hoot to shoot…

Exactly Dave.

I don’t know if you ever check out Hi-Bid auctions… but I’ve actually seen quite a bit of oddity ammo there lately going for good prices..

There’s a box of Norma 6.5 jap up for grabs there right now… it’s at $5 for the box currently (plus shipping, plus buyers premium, etc)…
