My LGS ordered two of the J&G Sales Model 10 gunsmith specials. I intend to "build" a couple of carry weapons. I like the heavy barrels and I'll probably do one 4" and one 3". These guns are both in really great condition. Almost no evidence of firing, just being carried and one of them not much of that. Timed good, locks up tight. But no barrel.
These imports were all 2" snub noses in their former lives. I'd like to know why the barrels were pulled. I'd like to know where they all are.
Being snub noses the front face of the frame is scooped out or scalloped on top where the barrel rib is located. It is narrower than the ribs on the heavy barrels and will look odd when the heavy barrel is installed. I think the scallop could be filled with a very small micro-weld and dressed down to match the heavy barrel. Does anyone know of a 'smith who could do this work? Not Bowen or Clements or one of the biggies. But someone who can do a good job in a reasonable time and for a reasonable price. Has anyone had similar work done?
