Australian Gunsmith to regulate.a Sabatti 45/70
#379472 - 20/09/23 08:29 AM

G'Day all,

I have a Sabatti DR in 45/70 and am looking at having it re-regulated.

The wedge has fallen out and it is currently crossing over around 50M. The left barrel is printing just to the right and high of the right barrel at 50M. I need to confirm at 100M but previously one was on the black (T5 target) and one was on the left edge, around the two/one ring.

Are there any Aussie smiths who will do this?

Am I going to wince when I see the price

I am using a 405 HRBC hardcast proj on 34gr of 2207 for about 1400fps.

There were a couple in Vic that use to do that sort of work, I think. I'll see if I can dig their names up. From memory one use to be in Lilydale.

Kevin Sharp may be able to do it

No unfortunately, I did cut a new one and place it in gently just to hold things in place.

It hasnt changed anything but hopefully will stop it getting worse.

Rodd Flower is in Vic, near Bendigo.

Does all the Perazzi warranty work and has built a few doubles - I've seen a completed one and one that was a WIP.

His YT videos on the build process and regulation are good viewing

Rob Bloomfield on Sunshine Coast is another option

Thanks all,

I have sent messages to all and will see what comes back.

So far Rodd Flower is a no but he had another name for me, Rodney Hotham in Tamworth (a bit closer than VIC).

Apparently, Kevin Sharp is not taking on any more work and is retiring soon.

I am waiting on responses from Rob and Rodney, fingers crossed.

Hey Tony - another option is Rolf Bachnick - in Lilydale, Vic.

Not sure if it's something he would be interested in doing - but his work quality on 2 projects for me has been to a high standard and reasonably prompt.

May be worth a call - although I've just Goolged him and Google says he is 'permanently closed' ;-(

Big worry if all double gun and rifle smiths retire.

Alex Beer is young enough. He needs to come back to gunsmithing and gunmaking.

I don't think Rolf Bachnick is actually "permanently closed". I think he has only closed his landline is now relying on his mobile 0400815483. As of earlier this year he was still advertising his services. Worth a call to confirm one way or the other.

I found a business that will regulate a DR https://custom37.com/

They are in Tamworth so a lot closer for me to.
