looking for a gunsmith...

[1894c]

Hi -- I'm looking for a gunsmith to turn my Glenfield 30A with a 20" barrel into a trapper (16.5" barrel), plus I like to have this levergun re-blued. The gunsmith's around here are all gone, and I'm willing to send the rifle anywhere in the lower 48. I want to thank you in advance for any recommendation... :)

Here are a couple of places you might try. Not sure where you're located.

http://www.clelands.com/ would be my first call.

What about our resident gunsmith Nate Kiowa Jones? Also goes by the Name of Steve Young. I'll check with my local gunsmith, he is a very good machinist. I'll call him in the morning.

+1 on Steve Young.
I too have a 30A with a similar thought, a 16" short rifle.
