Another vote for Snake Oil George.   I've had  4 sets done by him.   All excellent.

 

All were approx 3.5" barrels and he modified the ejector rod housing to fit perfectly

to those shorter barrels.

Here is a pair of Ruger Old Armies that he installed octagon barrels on and then bead blasted. He installed the brass front sight also.

Snake Oil George did a pair of 32 H&R baby vaqueros for me.  5.25 inch barrels, just to be a little different.  Excellent work.  Highly recommend SOG.

Question.  Does he replace the barrels, or does he just take your barrels off and shape them?

He buys barrel blanks and machines them to fit your guns and the length you specify

I had a pair built by Boomstick in 3.75" that I'm very happy with. I've also seen some done by SOG and they're very nice as well. Can't go wrong either way.

He put these on for me. I love em.IMG_0251.thumb.jpeg.4dbeab03a51d42ed199de167fac80144.jpeg

First, I love how he cuts the edges of the barrels, really adds to their beauty, second, where did you get the cylinder pins?
