Get a good professional job.
If no real gunsmiths locally available you might want to see what's involved with shipping to have work done. I can vouch for Clark's Custom and the price was extremely reasonable. Check their site & prices . I would give them a 5 star rating and a 10+ !

There is actually NO magic involved, really.
I can understand how some people might think that, because everyone is on a different level when it comes to skill sets. However, when it comes to revolver action jobs, anyone who has a decent mechanical aptitude can perform the tasks with proper instruction. The proper instruction comes from good manuals/videos.
Even the Colt V spring action, which is like a Swiss watch, is pretty easy to do an action job. At least to me it is.
Unless you are really doing some "tweaking", a normal action job just consists of a very light polishing to the interacting action parts, and usually some spring lightening. Springs are purchased, so no skill there, and I believe just about anyone could watch the Jerry Miculek action job video and be able to stone the appropriate places properly. All you need is a stone set and screw drivers. $40 for a Spyderco ceramic "file" set and another $60 in magna-tips equals $100 for limitless future action jobs.
There is nothing wrong with paying for the work, but I would bet that most people are capable if just showed how. So if anyone ever has an interest in doing their own work, PM me and I can share all of my gunsmithing resources. I have pretty much all the Kuhnhausen manuals and then quite a few AGI videos, and some other misc stuff.
I've noticed that I seem to be the "oddball" gun guy who has actually taken his hobby this far, but honestly, the repair & tuning of these guns along with their design & manufacture is my main interest. I guess that's my "nerd" trait crossing over into guns.
