Hi everyone: I just joined your community. I will need a lot of help and advise.
I retired 2 years ago and am a hobby machinist and gunsmith, just in case I need something to do, I spend a lot of time on the rifle and pistol range.
I have been a long time rifle competitor, attending the Nationals at Camp Perry over 20 times, and have shot on International teams.
I have a Bridgeport Mill, J head, a Grizzly G4003G Gunsmith Lathe and an Acra Surface Grinder, plus an array of grinders and belt sanders.
I am pretty well tooled, collecting tooling for 9 years.
I am presently building a Ruger 1022 into a target rifle, and re-making my front benchrest stand for F Class matches.
I am looking for any Machinists and Hobby Gunsmiths in the Cookeville, TN area, to share similar interests.

I know this is a year old post, but I just moved to Cookeville and I have a little machine shop. I'm still in the process of getting my equipment moved up here from Tullahoma. I'm more into machining steam and IC engines. If there are any machinists around the area let me know. Its nice meeting more experienced people!

Hey Mike! Dont be afraid to step out with a new post! We are mostly a friendly bunch.

Where is Cookeville?

You can add an approximate local to your heading or by line, it sometimes accentuates networking with people in your neck-o-the-woods.

Cookeville is app. 75 miles East of Nashville right smack on I-40 at Exit 286. You can't miss it.
