Default Custom Revolvers

I've seen pics of revolvers here that were done by Bowen, Clements and Alpha precision but has anyone here ever dealt with Gary Reeder?
I'm looking to have custom Ruger done and would just like some feedback. Thanks for any replies.

I have never done business with Gary R., but used to see examples of his
work in various gun magazines. Was highly praised at the time.

I have dealt with him and had many problems both with bad info and a mediocre product. If your interested PM me and I will discus my issues some of which are documented by emails from Reeder.

I've had excellent results from Alan Harton in Houston. He has converted two OM .357 Blackhawks to .44 Special for me, as well as a M28.

Here is a photo of the Rugers. One was done with a Ruger 4 5/8" .44 Magnum barrel and the other was done with a 5 1/2" Colt New Frontier barrel.

Don't know of a website. but his phone is 713 772 8314. I've never had any work done by him, but I've shot two Rugers he worked on. Both were first class.
