SAA Gunsmith needed...

[Flinch Morningwood]

I have as set of 38-40 SAAs that need:

  - an action job,
  - the front site replaced with a .125" wide version and
  - the rear site machined out to .150".

I used to use Happy Trails until he retired and am now looking for his replacement...location in not an issue as I will ship.

Anyone have a smith they can recommend?

You might give Steve a call, http://www.stevesgunz.com/ . I could do it if your not in to big a hurry, I'm backed up a few months.

Several good SAA smiths around:  Tom Sargis in Montana, Bob James in Phoenix, AZ, Eddie Janis in CA.  All do top notch work.

Hoi, John.  I dint forgetcha.  Still want to swap out my barrel and cylinder.  Just had way too much stuff going on and was never able to follow through in a timely manner.      I ain't in no hurry and I'll email you when it gets shipped.

Don't forget Jim Finch (aka Long Hunter) in Hartley, Texas.  He does great work - I have 4 of his SAA's.  He has an ad on this website.

I would recommend Eddie Janice at Peacemaker specialist,

Eddie said he has three types of jobs that he takes in.

Short-term jobs - one week to 30 days, which can be anything from fitting cylinder, to simple parts replacement.

Midterm jobs 30 days to 6 months - which can be any combination of work i.e. gunslinger deluxe action job, Checkering hammer, beveling grip frame, beveling cylinder, re-fluting cylinder, fitting grips, and refinishing. 

Long-term jobs 1-2 years - Complete restoration of first generation colt single action Army, especially if it requires re-welding re-cutting and fitting the hammer. He also explained that when he does full restorations likes to have 5 or 6 guns requiring the same process before he starts a restoration project. 

Eddie's customer service is great and I would highly recommend him.  He's a real artist, great guy and has incredible customer service.
