PISTOLSMITH RECOMMENDATION

[gunsmoke]

I jave a beautiful, first year of production, four digit (no prefix) serial numbered Old Model Ruger Blackhawk in .30 Carbine caliber.

I'm looking for a really good pistolsmith to chamber and fit two auxiliary cylinders. I already have the blank cylinders. I want one chambered in .32-20 and the second chambered in the new .327 Federal Magnum.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a pistolsmith with extensive experience and demonstrated expertise with Ruger Blackhawks?

Thanks in advance!

The one that comes to mind is Hamilton Bowen. He has done things like 5 shot .454 Casull and .475 Linebaugh conversions, etc. Another would be John Linebaugh. I would love to have Bowen shortened my .45 Ruger Bisley barrel to 5 1/2 in. and a .45 ACP cylinder fitted. Not sure I could afford him though.

You also might want to check out Gary Reeder. He has done some remarkable things with Rugers.

I have friends with some of his work - nice stuff....

Where did you get blank cylinders for Ruger Blackhawk - I really like this project you have come up with.

I'll 2nd the Gary Reeder recommendation. I have a Ruger Blackhawk, .45 Colt 4-5/8" Bisley Conversion that he built. It's a piece of art. For 1911, BHP or S&W wheelgun work, there's NO other gunsmith than Karl Sokol at Chestnut Mountain Sports (http://chestnutmountainsports.com/), but for Ruger Single Action work, Gary Reeder is the man.
