looking for a gunsmith
« on: June 29, 2013, 09:21:03 AM »
I  have a 6mm Ruger #1b, which I want to have rebarreled and rechambered  into a 240 wby mag..I am purchasing a new barrel through the Hart Co.
Would anyone know of any good gunsmiths that have worked on and know about working on a Ruger #1s.
The Hart Co says they can do it but it will take up to 10 months due to their backlog. Unfortunately I cannot wait that long.
Thank  you.

Any good smith should be capable of this as they are not terribly complicated or greatly different than other re-barrels. Not nearly as difficult as the Remington rolling block!

There is a listing of 'smiths in the back of Gun Digest, you could also get references as well.
