Nobody I would trust, and I tried a few. Best bet is to literally find somebody out of state and deal with the two way shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Closest smith to you I’ve dealt with was mid-Maryland gun repair. Very impressed with the rifle I received from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Jack Black Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 If you are looking for a repair or cleaning I would say most local smiths could do the work. If you want race guns that is a bit more complicated you need a smith that specializes in such work and the closest one I know to you is Cowboy Gun works.

Compond Kid 112467 Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 Thanks for all your help. I just bought a new Uberti 1866 20in barrel chambered in .38 special for my first CAS rifle. I was hoping to find a local Smith so I could learn the differences of my rifle and myself with each modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easiest thing to do right off the bat is swap out the hammer spring, and firing pin springs for aftermarket lightened springs for easier cocking and firing. Doing a shortstroke is easy on paper, but lots disassembly, reassembly, testing, then repeating until just right. Though this requires one to accept risk of mistakes, and thus starting over from scratch with a new kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
