    What do you mean by "rebuilt"?
    Are you concidering one of his packages or just some work to fix the gun?
    I do have some experience with GRCG, as I have had work & bought some of his products? Crash87

    I had him do some alterations to a pair of vaqueros several years ago. I found him to be easy to work with, prompt, professional, and the gunz came out great. He did the work I wanted and didn't try to sell me anything. Nice guy.
    That I could be wrong is an eventuality that has not escaped me. I just painted the pictures as I saw them. I do not know how to do anything else. (Saint Elmer, 1955)

    Super nice guy !!

    I had a .357 Blackhawk that Gary converted to 5 shot .50 AE (yes it kicks!!).

    Done under quoted price and a month before quoted time.

    The "free spin pawl" - (loading gate open - cylinder spins both ways) is nice.

    I have had several and still own one of Reeders guns. They have all shot well except one that had some problems and he promptly fixed it. Stands behind his work, and delivery time and price are about the best youre gonna find of the big smiths.

    A friend loved (it was stolen) his Reeder #5.

    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    I have a Reeder Custom BH. Gary does fine work as good as anybody. His sense of style may be a little garish for some. My pistol isn't going anywhere, but to the range.
