why not try to figure it out amongst NES . Bolt guns are not overly complicated.Ive got an extraction problem on a bolt rifle and need a new smith, so shore would be nice
Tim Gostling is who you mean and it's not Waltham (which isn't on US-1) but Wrentham.i've heard good things about the smith at gartman arms in waltham on route 1.
Not generally but he’s helped me out and has done a few long gun projects for me.Greg told me that he doesn't do long guns.
Dave Santuri in N. Attleboro or Tim Gostling/G&N Gunsmithing in Wrentham are the two I'd consider for this.

thats a bit strange ? I would get out the mic and start measuring brass and comparing it. It could be possible that the neck is thicker on the norma brass ?Ive been reloading for a few years now. I have an Axis with 2k fired.
Ive been using Lake City brass both fl sizing or neck sizing without issue and periodically anneal. I switched to Norma brass, fl size and full prep work. The round chambers fine with no problems. After firing, i can lift the bolt just fine but cant move the bolt rearward to extract without extream hand force to open it. Switch back to LC and have no problem. This also is the case trying to rechamber unprocessed fire formed Norma brass while the LC is fine
