About three years ago I sent a BRNO ZKK 602 to a gunsmith named Fred Zeglin, doing business as Z-Hat Custom Guns, Casper, WY for the purpose of having it rebarrelled in .500 Jeffery. Things had progressed in a leisurely fashion until this January, when I was informed that the barrel had been installed and some dummy rounds were needed to correct feed. I duly supplied the rounds, and have heard nothing since, despite numerous e-mails and phone calls. The last phone call to his number revealed that the number was no longer in service. Mr. Zeglin has my gun and $700 I had paid for work in progress.

Mr. Zeglin also operates a chamber reamer rental service called 4D Reamer Rentals, and a glance at their web site revealed that the business had been relocated to Kalispell, MT. The precise address given for returning reamers is 4D Reamer Rentals, 432 East Idaho St.,Suite C420, Kalispell, MT. 59901. A call to that location revealed that Mr. Zeglin's new number is (406)752-4090. Calls to that number produced no answer.

I am wondering if a participant in this forum who lives in the Kalispell area, or might be visiting in Kalispell, would be good enough to determine whether Mr. Zeglin has in fact relocated there, and if so, whether it would be worth my while to make a side trip to Kalispell from my projected trip to Missoula early next month. I really would like to see that particular rifle again.
