Red Jacket is pretty much tops. I'd just call them for any of your custom Dremel work, or ridiculous "inventions" of theirs...

Re: The best gun smiths?
I'm as good as 'Will', same techniques, just that I don't do 'custom' work anymore,don't have to pay a couple of dipshits and don't have a skanky daughter at my side!!!!
Oh, and don't have a fettish for AK's and Saiga shotguns! Do have a soft spot for things that make a 'big' boom though.
Barred windows and an always locked door......where else is that common.......hummmmm.......nuthouse? Nooooo.......State prison? Nooooo.....sleezy motel?....maybe....

Re: The best gun smiths?
Depends on what you call gunsmithing and what you want done.
For bolt guns, I'd have William Roscoe build it.
For 1911's, I'd have Clarks build it.
There are a lot of manufacturers out there who do custom work, such as SpringField, GA Precision, Les Baer.

Re: The best gun smiths?
Bill Calfee seems to be the most sought after smith in the rimfire world. The only thing is it takes a year to get a gun. Also he raised his prices to an unaffordable range. People were ordering guns for like $2500.00 then once delivered they would turn around and sell them for five grand. I guess that didn't sit well with Bill so now he charges around five thousand for a gun. I wouldn't let those Sons of Guns install a drop in trigger on a Remington or screw a suppressor on an already threaded barrel. They suck. I would like to have that vertical mill they use however and for some reason I'm compelled to watch the show every week. It's kind a peek through your fingers with your hand over your face kind of thing.
A Calfee gun. He always names them and I don't think you have an option on the name.
This is the type of precision required to be competitive in the rimfire game
