    Re-Barreling a Sharps

    Can anyone recommend a good gunsmith that can do a little custom work on my Sharps? I have a Krieger 35 inch round barrel blank on the way and will need a gunsmith to thread it and chamber it to 45-70. My Sharps has square receiver threads and the local gunsmith I use does not have the tooling to cut that type. Also, I would really like to have the chamber end milled octagon for about the first 14 inches with a Hartford collar and then tapered round. The barrel blank comes 1.35” OD, so there should be enough metal to play with. Ideally I would like to find a gunsmith here in Texas, but I will send it to wherever is needed. Anybody out there that can do this job?
