ScarletHarlet Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I want to send my two Rugers out for action work. I am looking to spend around 100-150 for each and want a place that wont take forever to get them done. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

stepnmud#33546 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 your location might help with ref., but still Longhunter would be a good bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Scarlet most of our reputable gunsmiths won't keep your pistols very long because they will advise you of a date to ship them based on their backlog of work. The 'waiting' part of that equation is that some of the better smiths could be 6 months backlogged and will not want to have your pistols until May or June but when they get them, they normally will only have them a week or so and have them right back to you. Unless your wanting your pistols short stroked or given the best 'touch' possible, you probably have a good gunsmith in one of your local clubs that can fix you right up. For the work I've actually seen AND personally handled, you'll get top notch work from any of these smiths: alpha order: Jimmy Spurs Lassiter Longhunter Wes Fargo I've heard good things about many others but I haven't actually handled their work.

ScarletHarlet Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Thanks for all the good suggestions, I like Wes Fargos prices and the half cock option alot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Three times I've handed Longhunter a pairs of Rugers at a match and had them shipped back to me within two weeks. The work entirely met my expectations. I've also handled Rugers worked on by Wes Fargo. Excellent work with short-stroke and half-cock options available.

Snakebite Dust SASS 75484 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I would not have anyone other than Jimmy Spurs work on my Rugers. You might save a little money going elsewhere, but you wont get a gun anywhere near as nice. I am sending him a pair after the first of the year.

Driftwood Johnson, SASS #38283 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Howdy With all due respect, and without meaning to cast aspersions on any of our fine CAS gunsmiths, working on Rugers is not rocket science. I agree with Widowmaker. Ask around at your local club and you will probably find somebody you can hand the guns to. You won't have to ship them anywhere, and you can talk to him in person about what you want done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
