I have a Remington 722 customized with a 243 barrel re-chambered into a 240 Page Super Pooper. Near the receiver the barrel says: M.S. Albuquerque... I assume the gunsmith. I also assume this work was done in the 60's or 70's, maybe earlier? Would anyone from this area know who this person is? Many thanks!!!

  Try Ron Peterson at (505) 255-8695. If anyone knows, he likely does. Owns a gunshop, and is a recognized authority. He has been in the business a lot of years.

  It sounds like a job that Score-Hi might have done; they had a little machine shop over off of Zuni/Central for a lotta years, doing bizarre calibers/wildcats, souping up revolvers and what not-coulda been Michael Salazar.....
  The only other old time 'smith I can recall was Smoky Ill; don't remember if he was at Ron's or Charlie's.

  THANKS Gunnut! I am assuming Michael Salazar worked in Albuquerque, N.M. About what time-frame? I also called HeDog's suggestion Ron Peterson...he could not recall such a person...he did refer me to someone else to no avail.This gun is a GREAT shooter. I found RCBS Dies in 240 PSP so I can reload. So far, I have just fire-formed 6mm Rems.

  Smoky Ill was the gunsmith at Ron Petersons in the early 80's, I spent a lot of time there in the old gun shop on Central before he moved across the street.
