To help introduce you to some of them, RevolverGuy sent out questionnaires to a number of the most respected and popular revolver gunsmiths in the trade, and we’re going to share the responses we received from them in a series of installments. The more complex actions found in revolvers require specialized knowledge, tools and skills to work on them, and you won’t find as many ‘smiths dedicated to working on them as the bottom-feeders, but we’re fortunate that there’s still a crop of talented folks out there who are doing great work on cylinder guns. If you’re looking for an autopistol mechanic these days, the world’s your oyster, but it’s a little more difficult to find a quality gunsmith to work on your revolver or build the custom one of your dreams.
