I hear you but I have a opportunity to make this mine. I have carry guns I make mine and I have pieces I would never change for originality and history. Perhaps you have found a non lugged barrel but I can't. I also don't really care if my custom gun will work for whoever receives it. When I am...
The thought has crossed my mind previously. The problem is everything I find in stainless has a full underlug. The full underlug is my gripe. Having a 4 inch barrel would just be icing on the cake.
That is the whole reason for this thread. I am hoping for some personal input from someone that had work done. I welcome recommendations and love testimonials.
I gave out the details I needed for the services needed. I edited my post to help people reply more in line with my request. I am not looking for opinions other than a gunsmith. I don't think it has to be as hard as you are making it.
It was gifted to me from my brother and will never be sold. I don't care about the value because to me it is priceless and will not be sold but handed down. Advice on a smith?
I have a 6 inch 617 with a full lug. I want to maybe cut the barrel to 4 inches. I for sure want to have the lug removed and the barrel profiled for it. Any suggestions for gunsmiths?
