Another +++ vote for Buck Hamlin. However, be aware that he always has a big backlog, and expect to wait many months.

Jerry that is quite true if you are talking about a single gun complete restoration but Buck likes to do work in batches to take advantage of economy of scale so if you get lucky and send him a gun that just needs color case hardening or barrels that need bluing and he is about case to do a batch of other guns or blue a bunch of other barrels his turn around can be quite quick. He also moves repairs through the shop in a hurry just to keep his safes from filling up.
