Any rec. on where to have a BC rechambered to 45/90 or 45/100?  Preferably in the MN/WI area.

No help with the local area but I sent mine to Lee Shaver at www.egunsmith.com.  His shop did an acceptable job, it shoots well altho it took 5 weeks I think to get it back.  When I complained about the delay, the woman on the phone said his mom was hospitalized during that time.  I dunno if that was an excuse or if it was true.  It does shoot tho, I had them check the bore for tight spots and lap them out.

I sent them my BC barrel and my handi barrel.  BC got reamed to 45-90 and hand lapped, and the Handi got throated to accept a bullet from a semi-custom mold I had and hand lapped for the the tight spots.  Cost me $170-$180 total, return postage included.  

Have a gander here, we had a long long thread on the subject a month or so ago.  http://www.graybeardoutdoors.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=52552
