CZ-550 Gunsmiths?

Thank you Mark for the imput.
As of now it could be an issue to find a smith to upgrade to a Wayne level. Not a good position to be in for some folks.
 
FYI for you all
I had not been in touch with Tim at Matrix for over a month.
Well today I found out why they are not accepting any new customers at the moment.
Tim was in the hospital for over 3 weeks from a second heart attack I have been told. He is doing good and at home now but since he is only doing the CZ work himself this has him behind schedule.
Just wanted to pass along what info about Tim and Matrix I knew.

Also I had sent the CZ 458 win mag back to him because it was not doing a fast feed like if you were in a buff situation really smoothly.
Tim has designed what he calls the Tombstone mag box and follower. It takes up some of the slack in mag box and holds rounds more in place.
Will give you all a review on that when I have had time to test it out.
Thanks for the update on Tim and Matrix.
 
Thank you for that info, Mark. I wish Tim the best in his recovery.

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
Beautiful Aardwolf for our Spanish client and good friend Alberto

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
