Revolver gunsmith recommendations?

[dc.fireman]

I am in need of a revolver gunsmith, if anyone has any recommendations I'd appreciate it.

I have a Dan Wesson 44 that has a timing issue, and needs to be re-blued.

Jim at http://www.innovativecustomguns.com/ Rebarreled one 5 screw Smith and got another 5 screw back in time when several smiths wouldn’t consider working on them.
Plan on ~$100 ship cost each way unless you know an FFL that can send it USPS.

Changing the barrel on a Smith is no big deal I done that myself. The work is making a vise so you don't twist the frame. Mine was a post war Victory and I found a barrel at Sarco. I was worried about the cylinder gap but when I snugged it up and the half moon sight got plumb the .010 fit and nothing smaller would. The timing issue is a whole other kettle of fish.

The barrels on the Dan Wessons are easily removable for cleaning and inspection, so no issues there. But it has a cylinder timing issue where it is 'skipping' the next round in the cylinder after firing one. It needs to be reblued, because the last time I cleaned it, I laid it out on a towel that had some type of solvent on it, and it stripped the bluing right down to clean metal on the parts where it touched the gun.

I contacted Glenn Custom this morning, and I'm waiting to hear back from him. I have a local gunsmith who is reportedly a whiz with revolvers, but his timelines can stretch out to several years.
