good gunsmiths in western ny

[matt 7mm]

I was wondering if anybody knows of any good gunsmiths in western ny or northwestern pa that could rebarrel a savage and make some stock mods maybe convert blind mag to DBM.maybe shorten barrel and add muzzle brake or port a barrel but i am not sure on that one yet?

If you're still looking for info on this, I know of an excellent gun smith. His name is Brian Donohue. He used to be a Marine sniper and really knows his stuff. Even though I live in Cattaraugus County, I would still make the trip to his shop. I have had him do handgun work for me in the past and it was excellent. He used to be located at 2920 Niagara Falls Blvd in Amherst, but it looks like he has moved to 3355 Niagara Falls Blvd in North Tonawanda ==> http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ffldealers/FFLDealerDetails.aspx?sid=7543

No sure where you are located, but Dan Shumway specializes in Savages and is an excellent gunsmith.

I'm looking for a gunsmith to lighten the trigger pull on my Ruger Hawkeye, preferably near Rochester. Anyone have a recommendation? Thanks.
