Can anyone recommend a gunsmith.....
Besides the two smiths recommended here, I've found two more who have rolling block experience. One is here in Washington, about 3 or 4 hours away. Might go with him.
Got this rifle from Simpsons Ltd., perfect action, decent wood, but the 33" long barrel is 8x58r, and very funky inside. BTW, it is an antique, so shipped directly to me. Figure either rebarrel to .50-70 or rebore to....? This 8mm cartridge is usually made from .45-90 brass, so I have a few routes I can take on a rebore. We shall see!
