Well darn, but good for Shaen he is a heck of a good guy to work with but it appears he isn't a big secret anymore I think he has been mentioned but you might also contact Karl Feldkamp @ Kampfeld Customs. Karl is another one man shop and he builds some of the best there is and usually is pretty quick if you supply the parts. I've had rifles built by a number of the smiths mentioned but my most accurate rifles have been built by Karl and Shaen.

Never used either one, but have heard nothing but good things about both of them.

Im assembling parts for a new rifle build and looking to have a smith chamber the barrel and assemble the rifle. Who would you recommend? These are some of the names I see with consistent positive feedback.

Alamo precision
Ts customs
Beanland
SPR
LRI
GAP

Who else should I consider?

Jon Beanland is a great guy and his work is simply superb. As long as he is building rifles, he will be building MY rifles.

I had Kevin build me a rifle awhile back and I 100% agree with you, he does excellent work and was great to work with.

Lots of acronyms here. Can someone familiar with all the smiths make and share a google doc with full names? We can then collaboratively organize by geography, insert contact information, and insert links to relevant threads (reviews, etc.).

This information is very helpful. I will add RBros to that list. I sent travis and email with all my questions early this morning and he called me shortly after to discuss my questions. Customer service goes a long way.

Travis is great.
And both my rifles hammer.

x2 or 3 on RBros. I found a 300 win mag that is identical to mine in the classifieds here and talked a buddy into buying it. They're 2 serial numbers apart and both are pretty amazing with minimal effort. I have handloaded 215s since day one and although he has the components, my buddy shoots the federal 215 factory ammo equally well. Travis's rifles are second to none.

Definitely a good guy who builds great guns.

Black canyon customs in Denver
Rivers bend gun company in Missouri
Nielson custom rifles in Utah

I have used all three and wouldn’t hesitate to use either one again!

 

[Djacker]

I've used TS Customs and Alamo Precision. Had great experience with both.

Call or email Carl at kampfeld he's a stud ! Well worth shipping the stuff to idaho. I live by Seattle and have driven the 5.5 hrs to deliver him stuff

 

[Badseed]

I haven’t talked to karl but his name does come up often. I will have to reach out to him tomorrow.

Defensive Edge Rifles is my #1 "go to" gunsmith with Karl Kampfeld as a close second. DE is only about 30 minutes from my front door, which makes things really nice, and Karl's place is a bit further but still pretty close.

Has anyone used Mike from Hells Canyon Armory?

Man, they make a fine looking rifle but their people skills are terrible. The first rifle I put together I had a smith just cut and chamber and I did the rest. I was having feed issues so i went to YouTube on learning how to tune a magazine. I found a video of them and how well their rifles cycle. They were using Lone Peak Fuzion with Wyatt box, and operated Flawlessly, beautiful cycle! That was the same set up as I has so I gave them a call in hopes they would give a rookie a pointer or two. They told me essentially to pound sand. Maybe I crossed a line in asking for a tip, but that interaction has left a bad taste in my mouth. Being personable goes a long way in my opinion, and almost as important as the quality of their work.
