The guy I use is really good but he is half way across the country from you. I don't know anyone in the east coast area.

Wish I could be more helpful.

I suggest you talk to some of the folks at local shooting ranges (or shooting clubs, if they have them in that area). Quality gunsmiths are like quality engravers - their work comes by reputation and is spread by word of mouth, not in advertising. You might also contact the NRA. Their local rep might have some contacts.

You should be able to do that work yourself to save time and money .. hope this helps .. ron

Thanks guys. I had contacted Turnbull restorations and Doug told me that he does not polish S&W's or stainless steel. He just handles the blueing and color case hardening. One of my customers contacted me with info on a gunsmith that he uses,i will be calling him in the morning. thanks again.
