Looking for a great gunsmith!!

[Guinness1972]

Have a few single actions I would like to have the barrel shortened on. Some are blued some are stainless. Are there any reputable smiths in Massachusetts that anyone would recommend. Prefer south shore area if possible so I don’t have to deal with shipping.

I did it to a replica Colt. Fun as hell but I had to take a stiff drink before taking a hacksaw to the barrel. (Forgive the horrible grips. The cap on the can looked EXACTLY like the polished brass frame.)

Seconded based upon pictures he's posted of his work here, and from feedback from members.

Greg Derr is the man!

As usual Greg at Derr Precision has done some amazing work for me. Several months ago I picked up an old 1974 Colt Combat Commander Warhorse that was part of the IDF and finally retired due to its obvious deterioration. It was sold as a gunsmith special and I bought it with Greg in mind...

I'd recommend Greg Derr or Dave Santurri. It depends on whether you'd prefer to drive to Marshfield or North Attleboro.

J&J Arms Dedham. They did some work for me. Highly recommended.

Same question, in southern NH
Got a pin on my MX19 that is taking a little more force than I'm comfortable with, and I want to SBR on of my Colt LE6920, will need the barrel cut down and threaded.
