I'll second the motion for/from Houston south suburbs. Anyone got someone in the Pearland to Clear Lake area?

My only contact is Selous Gun and Rifle Makers in Grapevine TX (just NW of DFW Airport.)
https://www.selousgunandrifle.com/
They built a 300 Win Mag and threaded a couple barrels for me. Not difficult job. I believe they do high end custom work as their main gig.
I have beautiful Husqvarna in 9.3x62 that needs some work on the safety. I trust these guys to do a good job.

https://diprecision.com/ not your conventional gunsmiths, we build new rifles/ barreled actions using premium actions like Impact, Definace etc, rebarrel some factory actions, also one of the top precision rimfire builders. We build and shoot PRS/NRL then take what we learn and apply to lightweight hunting rifles.
We also own https://shermanwildcatcartridges.com/ and chamber for those calibers.

My guy down in South Texas where I used to live doesn't do much gun/machine work anymore. Sending guns UPS had gotten expensive so I don't use Dennis Olsen in Plains Montana much anymore. So I had to fine another gunsmith locally.
Recently I've used Aquila arms in LaPorte, Tx a time or two, owners name is Chris. From reviews and what he has done for me best I can tell is pretty dang good. I plan to have Chris fit a couple of barrels for me in near future.

Not real close to either of our houses, couple hours from either. But still going to give him a call. You said old school, he may still be running a bluing tank, not many still run a bluing tank. I'll call and find out.
I'll be driving through Lumberton on my way to mow grass at the lake place at Sam Rayburn. I'm so excited about mowing grass in 95 degrees high humidity.
Good info, I'll google Hawn's and get address and number. I didn't know about this place, good to know.
His place ain't much to look at and when you get there his shop is kind of around behind an old house but when you walk into his shop it's cluttered but like a museum he has years of shelves and shelves of parts and guns I am amazed every time I walk in there all the old guns and stuff. And I know what you mean about mowing just mowed my pasture last weekend was so much fun
