Does anyone have contact info for Alan Harton. The phone #s I have are either disconnected or the wrong #. I recently bought a TLA # 5 in .41 magnum. The previous owner neglected it and its got a little freckling. Thought about sending it to Turnbull, but I would like the parts checked for proper heat treating. If anyone has any thought I would appreciate the help. Thanks in advance

I think the best thing to do if you dont reach the fine Mr. Harton on the first try is to just send that thing to Alaska. Folks round here are fond of their guns like girls, few freckles add character.
Sounds like a nice piece.

I tried the 713-907-6301 and a girl answered, she didn't know of Single action service.
Wildwillalaska, didn't you just acquire another #5 in 45LC? It looked pretty well freckle free!

Check your number again 6301 is not 6031...
I spoke with him not long ago at that number.

AHHHH. Thanks so much, should have caught that.
Any advice one way or the other, as to Turnbull vs Harton for the work.

I'd send it to Turnbull for the finish work, then have Alan check the internals.

Send it to Alan for checking internals. He can also do the refinish work in a top shelf manner as well. He built my TLA #5 41 mag from a box of original rough parts.

The guy Alan uses for his CCH work does a great job of replicating the old Colt-style colors. A bit more muted than Turnbull's vivid colors, as some prefer.

Turnbull also lacquer finished his CCH, Alan's guy doesn't and turns the guns in a couple of days. Not saying ones better or worse just different.

Al Harton is at the bottom of the list for authenticity
