We can handle that for you. We specialize in Smith & Wesson Revolvers as well as 1911/2011s. Just give me a call or text at 714.448.2035.

I recommend that you don’t use bolsa. Bolsa is capable of doing very fine work but dropping your gun off at Bolsa is like opening a box of chocolates


Take it to Randall. The man is a machine. Exacting and precise (also doesn’t charge enough for his quality of work). And he’s big on S&W wheel guns. Not every gunsmith is.


Edit

I see that Randall and Shawn both replied to the thread. Randall is my friend. I’ve seen his work for over 20 years. He does fantastic work and I hope you take it to him.

That said, whomever you choose, make sure and take it to a Smith & Wesson wheel gun guy. You do not want that kind of work done by just any “gunsmith”.
