Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I made the assumption. And to clarify, Boogie built my gun. I didn't use a kit... nor hit. Phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil dogooder Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 I've been talking to coyote cap and he loves his. Phantom how long of a wait did you have for your rifle? I sent them an email but haven't heard back yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooting Bull Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I know of two local shooters here who use Boogie guns and they swear by them. No kits though. They send stock guns to him and let him work his magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Kid Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Ordered mine at WR, received it around June 18th. Out of 15 or so 73s, it's the smoothest. The coil spring hammer makes the difference. FYI labor was only $300, the rest of cost is in the parts and cost of rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 He replaced the bolt, welded up the lifter and set the timing on my '73 in a couple of days at EOT. He would have done it faster but I had already decided to shoot my backup rifle before I got there and told him to put all guns folks needed for the shoot ahead of mine. It works great, and wouldn't hesitate to have him work on other guns for me. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBFields Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 From what I have heard his total rebuild is about the cost of a new rifle, $1400 + or - ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Kid Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 That is about right. Most of the $1400 is parts. $300 for labor is very reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Enuff Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Yes they are excellent. I would recommend just having him install them. Especially if your gun is "plum worn out." You probably should just let him repair and overhaul the rifle with whatever it needs because if it has feed issues also those need to be addressed at the same time. Not much point in buying the high end parts if other issues end up keeping the gun from working right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Jackson Turner Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 It is expensive. It is also worth every penny. I have watched him spend the best part of a day on one rifle, to make certain that it was PERFECT. Cheers, FJT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthwestShooter Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 It's the BEST $900.00 I ever spent on a rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
