So, I recently purchased a model 28 S&W with a 4inch barrel. I'm going to have it refinished, as stated in a previous thread in which I had some questions that were seen to.
However, I'm considering also having the barrel shortened. I figure if this is an alteration I want to have done some day, best to get it done now.
I have no practical reason for doing it, other than I have a great affinity for 3-3.5 inch classic N Frames. I just like them very much.
So, I'm looking for recommendations for S&W revolver smiths. So far, I'm considering:
- Accurate Plating and Weaponry ( http://www.apwcogan.com/ )
- Cylinder and Slide ( http://www.cylinder-slide.com/ )
- Fletcher Custom Pistols ( http://www.fletchercustompistols.com/ )
Any other suggestions?
Or any comments on the above (specifically Accurate and Fletcher)? I'm leaning away from C&S because they're quoting almost 100 more than the other two and a minimum 10 month wait, though I understand their work is top notch and worth it.
I'd have the revolver sent to the Smith first to have the barrel shortened and recessed and recrowned, then off to the refinisher.
