Colt SAA work?

Thinking of changing calibers on an old Colt SAA.

Any recommendations for a good "smith".

Alan Harton, Single Action Services, Houston, TX. He's THE guy for Colt SAAs. I've sent three 1st generation Colt SAAs to him for tuning and he's always done a great job, with quick turnaround. There's an article about him at gunblast.com.

If you haven't already, go to the Single Actions website. There are quite a few smiths mentioned over there time and time again for the work they do. I haven't used any of the smiths mentioned, but some receive a lot of praise. I know the Bowen has been discussed a lot.

Depending on what you are wanting, it may be better to sell yours and buy another.
