Default Any Gunsmiths in RI/MA?

I need some work done on my 48-4 and S&W Factory Service is no longer taking charge work.
I thought I had it figured out, but after 50 rounds, the cylinder just locked up and would not index to the next round (both SA and DA).


Can anyone on the forum recommend a smith in RI or MA?
Thanks!

I likewise recommend Mike Larocca. He did this pair of Model 65s for me last year.

Gee, thanks...
But I'm looking for personal recommendations from this forum, not just a blind Google contact...

Maybe out of your way, but I’ve dealt with Mitch Schultz @ Gunsmithing Limited in Southport, CT. The old Ruger factory.


Mitch Schultz is a fine gunsmith, easy to work with, will stay within his quote.

Smith and Wesson is not taking any charge repairs as of 4/11/22.
Don't know if it's connected to the move...they wouldn't answer any of my questions when I called.
