Canadian Sources
Sir Charles deMouton-Black:
How about circulating your sources in Canada?
I've been looking for an octagon BPCR barrel source. Green Mountain now seems to have what is needed. I emailed them and they said I couldn't purchase direct from Canada. Instead they gave me two contacts;
1. Mike Magee 306 672 3556
2. Bits of Pieces 604 946 6168
I called Barry @ bits of pieces, and now we have an order in for a #3.5 octagon barrel in .45-70 for my Argie roller. He is in Delta BC. Has anyone dealt with him?
I received an order of Ballistic Products stuff from Wil Bilozir in Alberta. I`ll be dealing with him again.
Nine Toe Jim:
Ok Sir Charles,
I've had great dealings with Wayne Wesser of Old Western Arms in Winnipeg.

And I bought a number of firearms from Shooter's Choice in Ontario - Again good service

Gary Howe's Gunsmithing also works out of Shooter's Choice and he has given me excellent service.
Grey Beard:
And I've purchased several itiems from Doc Rowland at http://www.oldwestguns.ca/products/index.php ranging from firearms to leather goods, grips, springs and brass. He has been great to deal with.

I can vouch for some of the afore-mentioned vendors. Mr. Wayne Wesser in Winnipeg is great to deal with, especially when I was looking for a second Beretta Stampede in 44-40. I have dealt with Mike Magee as well. He specializes in Remington Rolling Blocks, and my 50-90 has a Green Mountain Barrel on it. He would be worth calling, as I believe he had a couple barrels for sale at the last gun show in Edmonton.
Sir Charles deMouton-Black:
A while back, I was asked about gunsmiths in Canada prepared to work on Single Actions for frontier action shooting. Then I drew a blank. Most gunsmiths in Canada have enough work dealing with local hunters, and clay target shooters. There are exceptions, but mostly working on IPSC guns, & such.
I knew that M.D. Charlton, worked on S&W firearms, and in fact he is Canada's warantee station for S&W. I had a 1937 Brazilian contract long actioned .45 acp revolver worked on by Murray. He did a good job, after locating parts that haven't been made for half a Century.
I spoke to Murray today. He is prepared to work on cowboy revolvers. He already receives guns from all across Canada for work.
He told me Colts & clones of Colts are no problem. Some Ruger parts, like free-spin pawls, are hard to get, but he is willing to discuss any Pards needs.
Give him a call at 250-652-5266, Ask for Murray
