I'm interested in a couple things and I'm hoping to roll them into one project but not sure who to talk to about making it happen.
I am interested in getting a Blackhawk for hunting. I've never hunted with a revolver so it'll be a new experience for sure.
I am also enamored with the movie prop Buntline that Kurt Russell used in Tombstone. Now I know that they are available through Cimmaron, but as I understand it, 45LC hunting power loads should only really be used in BH frames due to the pressures/stresses. So I want to get a BH in 45LC with a 10" barrel but the longest they come in is 7.5". I could get a SBH that does actually come in 10.5" but I don't want 44mag, even though I know it opens up availability on hunting rounds.
So my question is, who do I turn to to have a 10-10.5" barrel put on a 45lc Blackhawk? I'm hoping for a fairly quick turn around, I'm not looking for an action job or any other 'smithing touches other than the rebarrel.
I would've asked Ruger but since they don't have a custom shop I'm figuring third party Smithis my only way to go.
I'm in north Florida, just south of Jacksonville in St Augustine, if that helps anyone point me towards a local.
Thanks, everyone!
