Gunsmithing Need a gunsmith to customize big bore revolver

[bluto77]

I'm looking into getting a Ruger .454 Casull Super Redhawk, and getting it cut down to around 4.5" and porting the barrel. I realize his is mainly a rifle forum, but I figured at least one of you works on revolvers and/or knows somebody that does. If you know anyone, I'd appreciate a name.

Thanks!

Most any 'smith with a lathe and barrel vice can pull and cut/crown your barrel. Weigand or Mag-na-port for the porting.

Mag-na-port is backlogged around 6 months last time I checked, and I need the pistol by the end of August. I realize that's laughable to most gunsmiths.

You might try Gary Reider in Flagstaff (Gary Reeder Custom Gun - for 30 years a leader in custom handguns and rifles.). He and his son are well known for their wheel gun work
