rifleman56 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I'm planning on getting the action work done on my 1873 rifle. What would be the best place to have this done? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) 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. http://www.grinergunworks.com/ good luck, GJ Edited April 28 by Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 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. Rooster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Timber SASS #19724Life Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Long Hunter did a 73 for me recently and it is superb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choctaw Jack Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 + 1 for Ken Griner! Does great work and is a great guy to deal with. Give him a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I will ever tax out my rifle to its fullest extent. He does a great job. TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
