Now that Bob Munden is gone is there a gunsmith you would recommend to do similar work? I just got my Colt SAA back from his wife Becky with most of the work incomplete and would like to have some work done on it.

Jim of Nutmeg Sports, Alan Harton of Single Action Services or Eddie Janis of Peacemaker Specialists. are three that come to mind.

I notice a huge difference in price for an action job between Bob James and Peacemaker Specialist. $150 vs over $500. This begs the question as to why the difference. I know if I talked to them I can hear their shpeel as to why their product is better or just as good as the next guy.
Has anyone used more than one of the smiths mentioned and found one better than the other or the same as far has service and end product go?

Alan Harton is my pick for most all of the work I have done. No Colt SAA work but I have seen plenty of it in his shop. High end work that is fairly priced with just a great guy to deal with.

I have a first gen Colt I traded into. It had been rebarrelled with a second gen barrel, 44 special cylinder, and reblued so was a shooter. It never felt right so I sent it to Alan to do what he thought it needed. It was not as costly as I expected and is now like a swiss watch. He is the only one I would use today.
