| Where and who can rebarrel a M29 S&W from a 6" to a 4".Thx |

According to the S&W web site the labor is $60 and the barrel itself is $145 and some change. Smith and Wesson Parts List Smith and Wesson Custom Gunsmithing I would bet you can find BOTH of those cheaper, but that is the first price I ran across shooter |

Any good gunsmith that works on revolvers. Smith & Wesson obviously can as well. A rebarrel isn't cheap. It'd be cheaper for you to sell the 6" and buy a 4". ALOT cheaper, and probably alot faster and easier. Ross ed to add, cheaper than I thought. That's lower than Ruger charges. But you're still spending $200+ on the gun, and I still think it'd be cheaper to sell it and buy a 4". You could sell the 6" for $200 less than what you buy the 4" and it would still be cheaper. |

I looked at Cylinder and Slide, their price is also over $200 (though I imagine they do a great job). Looks like the "trade the gun" advice is spot on. I would think the only difficulty is finding another 29, so many of the .44s out there now are the new (relatively so) 629. shooter |
