Default Who would you recommend to cut a barrel, add a sight, and retime a 1917?

I guess I jammed my whole question in the title. I have a 1917 (technically a 1937 Brazilian) that I bought specifically to turn it into a snub. I want the barrel cut to a tad longer than the ejector, add an appropriately high front sight, and then deal with the timing on a couple of out-of-time chambers. I typically look to Clark Custom, but they turned me down on the barrel cut and adding a sight.

Anyone you would recommend? I don't need the gun refinished. Just the smithing done. Thanks!

Nelson Ford was able to do these operations. He may have a wait list however.

I'm not in a hurry, as long as it's not a couple of years. Thanks for the name.
