I have a really nice Walther PPK/s in stainless that I need to have the barrel replaced. I have another barrel that is in a cut frame. Everything I have read says that a gunsmith has to press the old barrel out and press a new one in. I am seeking advise from the great ODT community to help me find a local gunsmith that can perform this service for me. I am located in the Acworth/Woodstock area, about 20 min north of Marietta. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Your assistance would be very much appreciated. God bless you all! Thanks, Warren

A call to Brian Ott may help. http://www.ottgunworks.com/
Thank you for your reply. I gave Brian at Ott Gun Works a call, but unfortunately he does not have the equipment to do the work. I know he does good work though. If anyone else has any leads, Please share! Thanks Guys!
After I spoke with you, I remembered the location of the Carl Walther Factory Authorized Service Center, They should have the necessary tooling to press the barrel out and back in for you.

Thank you Brian, I do appreciate the info. However, I hope to find someone locally that can do the work so that I don't have to deal with the hassle and cost of shipping the firearm. If there isn't a gunsmith that can do it locally, then I guess the Carl Walther Factory Authorized Service Center is my next best option. I do appreciate your response. I am still hoping to get lucky and someone here knows where I can get this work completed locally. Thanks!
Good luck in your search for someone local. Changing Walther Barrels is a pretty rare job and none of the gunsmiths I know in Georgia have the necessary equipment to do it right and not damage the frame.
