| I'v got a 45-70 that I need some work done to. Mainly Cutting a dovetail in the barrel for an extended magazine tube and cutting the tube to length also filling the old dovetail. I don't know if anyone recommend anyone in the N.Ga area, but i figured its worth a shot before I start looking at places to send it off to. |

I've had a rifle threaded by this guy out of state. Very reasonable.

| I'm actually looking to do this with mine, I know a guy nearby I'm just not sure how busy he is. I have another friend with one who might be doing the same thing if we can get them done together it may help push things along. I'll give him a ring and see what's up. |

I did 2 similar jobs myself. Not that difficult, any good gunsmith should be able to do the work.
My favorite levergun 'smith is Ben Forkin, but he's in Montana. He rebarrelled a buggered up Win94 for me. He also rebarrelled one of my Colt SAA'd and tuned up the pair of them. |
