Since Bob retired from Dan Wesson, do they currently have a revolver smith or do service work on revolvers?

 

I've got a gun i need to get re timed.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

I'm thinking not at DW, but possibly at CZ, since the re-release of "snake guns".

email keith@cz-usa.com I think he works on them from time to time.

  

Keith is the last smith they have.   He trained Bob.   As COO, he wears many hats now.    Last we spoke, he said he get 1-2 revolvers a month.   Hopefully that small number did not shutter the repair shop.

Keith got back to me, he's still doing revolver work, but the 375SM all he can do is time it, can't even test fire it due to no ammo.  I suspect the same may be true with the other supermags.

Send him some empties that are primed. That would give a small pop but good enough to see where the firing pin hits. 
That should be good enough to check timing?????
