Any recommendations for a good revolver gunsmith?

[blackcpull]

Hi,

I am looking for a good gunsmith that knows revolvers very well. I have 4 revolvers that I would like to get gone through. I also have a King Cobra that when firing the 357's all the cases get stuck. the 38's are fine though??? I live in New England but don't mind shipping somewhere else. Thank you.

The folks at Cylinder & Slide http://www.cylinder-slide.com/ have a solid reputation, and I was very pleased with some work that Richard Fletcher http://www.fletchercustompistols.com/ handled for me a while back.

Also, look into some of the projects Mr. Smith has posted here. http://www.superiorfirearmsllc.com/ No personal experience, but his work looks top notch and he's associated with some dialed-in folks.

Just how "gone through" are you wanting to go? Just a mild tune up and some reliability work, and repairs to your King Cobra; or custom work to personalize the guns to you?

If you can afford their services I have seen one revolver in person done by Hamilton Bowen and it was spectacular.

Bring your checkbook though.

Since you live in New England, give Karl Sokol a call. He is located in West Rutland VT. His shop is called Chestnut Mt Sports.

I would send the Colt back to the factory. I had them work on an Official Police and they did great work, quickly.

If you are anywhere near CT try JoJo's Gunworks. Jody Joseph is a great smith.

+1 on Karl Sokol. He brought my old Model 29-2 back to life.
