What gunsmiths have a *really* good reputation for working on revolvers? I just got a S&W 610 6.5" and would eventually like to have the cylnders chamfered & the double-action trigger pull lightened & smoothed out a bit. The single action trigger on this thing is really good and it certainly is built like a tank... :grin:

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

I've read many good reports about LaRocca gunsmithing and Sokol (?) also. I don't have contact info. on hand but could find it if no one else has it handy.

Tom Kilhoffer of TK Custom Does a great job. S & W revolvers are his speciality. I have a 610 from him, and a PPC gun. His web sight is http://www.moonclip.com

I sent a S&W model 57 to Magna-port for a little work. I made several calls after they had recieved it & started work but before it was refinished.

(Not a nice thing to do to your pistol smith but they added all the changes that I wanted).

The ransom to get it back was higher, :grin: but the work was outstanding and I got back one heck of a 41 Mag.

The cylinder charge holes were numbered, smooth double action and a sweet single action, front sight EDM'ed off and replaced with a interchangble post front sight & gold bead, round butt conversion, recrowned barrel, et. Again, outstanding Work. Mike

I have had work done by all. Clark did an incredible job on a 625 that is buttery smooth yet ignites all primers, not just Federals. Tom K takes work orders and works on guns in the winter, got to get to him soon.
I will be out with Scott, Mark, and Al at the Topton Pin/Steel match next week, so they might not be available next week, but they are all top grade Revo guys and more than likely do what you need, CB
Enjoy your 610, they are one of the most versatile Revos made. I know I love mine. DougC

Scott Mullerkin as mentioned above shoots a 610 quite a bit as I understand it-- he was using one last weekend to pretty good effect, anyway. He showed it to me and it was very nicely done.
