Need a gunsmith with panache
      #247202 - 09/05/14 07:04 AM

I have a couple of projects; but I need a gunsmith that's willing / able to do more than screw on a scope base AND not want to finance his kids Harvard tuition on my parts alone; but I certainly don't mind paying for the job.

My first project is a bit of a pet peeve Ive had for a few years. I have a H&R Buffalo Classic that is chambered in 45-120 and sports a long brass scope. Its a neat gun and good start for the budget minded. My complaint starts with the H&R release lever. Theres nothing wrong with it EXCEPT that it looks too modern. Id like to have it "roll over" the side of the gun and perhaps have a bit of a 19th Century swirl. Next Id like something done with the hammer as well to give it some flair and panache.

Any suggestions?

Top quality work never comes cheap, and cheap work is never top quality.

Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.
