Default 1894 Marlin advice

Does anyone know or even better have experience with gunsmiths working on and re chambering Marlins? What I am in the process of is having a Model 16-3 , a 32HR Mag Ruger Super single six and an 1894 Marlin in 32 H&R rechambered and refinished in 327 Federal. Hamilton Bowen will do the revolvers but I need "help" on a suggestion for a riflesmith. Thanks in advance for your help and consideration. Joe.

Those projects sound like a great lot of fun. Wish I could assist in the recommending of a rifle smith, but cannot.

Have you tried your question at the Marlin Owners' Forum? As with this superb Board, there are a lot of helpful and knowledgeable posters there. Hope it is OK to post a link...

Best of luck to you.

Where are you located Joe?

King's Gunsight in California used to be a mecca. Likewise for Bain & Davis...
