I'm planning on getting the action work done on my 1873 rifle. What would be the best place to have this done? 

 

thanks

A close cowboy gunsmith is worth a lot, both now and in the future for any added work you decide to do on the rifle.  For your location, Ken Griner at Griner Gunworks outside Farmington NM might be  that fellow.  Does GREAT work.

I've had Ken work on my cowboy guns and he has done 3 73 Ubertis for me. He also built several custom rifles for me....a great smith.

Order a Wolf spring kit and do it yourself. 

Learn your rifle .

Know the feel .

You will then know when and what things are going wrong .

Just Sayin.

Yep, Jim Finch at Long Hunters has done excellent work.  Recently did some tuning, huh?  Guess Jim is back to working at the shop again.  Good news, but a little farther away from the poster's location than is Griner.

 

good luck, GJ

+ 1 for Ken Griner!

Does great work and is a great guy to deal with.

Give him a call.

Send it to Shotgun Boogie and never look back. It will be faster than you for a while in most cases. I don't think I will ever tax out my rifle to its fullest extent. He does a great job.
