Does anyone know a good gunsmith in Texas that is familiar with BPCR? I need to have a Win 1885 high wall and a Shiloh drilled and tapped for a scope. Closest one I can find is DZ arms but that’s a long drive from west Texas.

Mark Pharr over in Round Rock knows his stuff. Still pretty far from West Texas though.
I used Mark for all of our tooling at my last job in Austin. I didn’t realize he did gunwork? Is he just a good machinist or is he an actual gunsmith?
