This weekend I bought a single shot .577 Snider sporting rifle at an antique arms show.
The gun looks almost exactly like this one

The only difference is that mine was made in England by R.B.Rodda and the Snider breech block, and the lock are nickel-plated.
My rifle has three condition issues I'd like a restorer to fix:
1. The buffalo forearm cap is missing. it was replaced with a poured pewter cap
2. The sights don't look original
3. the checkering is worn smooth and the wood is patched in two small areas
Can anyone recommend a restorer who would work on these rifles?
Also can anyone point me towards a source for a replacement horn forearm tip?
Thanks.
