Looking for gunsmith - Central IA

[Tallinar]

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post a request like this, but not sure where else to put it.

Can anyone recommend a gunsmith in/around central Iowa? I've used Scheel's for some work in the past, but was not quite impressed with the end result. I'm hoping to find someone more personal to do business with.

Basically just looking for someone to shorten/re-crown a rifle barrel and remount the front site; and also ream out my Ruger .45 Colt cylinder throats. These are the kinds of projects my dad used to help with me, but he passed away last year. Trying to make some new friends.

Thanks!

I am not a smith but I work "casually" on guns and also do a fairly good job rebluing. Hopefully you can find someone but I thought I would throw this post out there to let you know there are some other folks near you. I'm close to Waterloo.
