Need Revolver Gunsmith in NoVA

[Business_Casual]

I have a 686-6 with what I believe is excessive end-play in the cylinder. It locks up and works fine empty, but under recoil the cylinder moves back and jams the rounds against the frame. I can't see that there is any adjustment in the ejector rod, so I think the play is between the cylinder and the yoke.

Does anyone know a very good, trust-worthy revolver smith in Northern VA? I don't want to ship it to S&W if I can avoid it.

Thanks,

Tim Bacus at Gilberts or Robert/Sandy Garrett at Northern VA Gunworks.

If you go to Gilbert's MAKE SURE you have Tim, and Tim only, work on the gun.
