Hey there WAGUNS friends.
I'm looking into getting a smith and wesson model 29 6 inch barrel swapped back to the 4 inch barrel. The 4 inch barrel is the actual stock barrel.
This is a - 2 model, so the barrel is pinned and threaded.
Does anyone know a good gunsmith that can do this in the South King Co area? My alternative is to send it back to S&W which I'd like to avoid if possible.
Thanks

Don't put your comments within the quotes please, it's really muddling things up. My advice is forget about that revolver, find another one and save yourself some grief.

I have a 29-2 in six inch. They are a ton of fun to shoot. No point in switching it back to 4 inch. Not as enjoyable. I imagine there was a good reason the previous owner swapped it. Buy it and leave it alone. I'm not sure but i don't think they are rare or extremely valuable in either configuration.

Surprised C.a.R. didn't want to touch it.
Cylinder gap gauges, padded vise, pin punches + hammer, new barrel. Maybe a heat gun to get things moving a little easier. It's not a difficult procedure. I've never done it but plenty of people have.
