Skeet,

You might try Doug Turnbull Restorations. I know they handle alot of lever action restorations and other older firearms. The link listed below should get to them.

http://www.turnbullrestoration.com/

I don't know what they can do to help you but they have a heck of reputation
for fine quality work.

Keep us posted

Thanks for the suggestion on Turnbull.

I don't need it restored though..I can do most of the work puttin it all together again and makin it look good. But I don't want to remove the original bbl and am just looking for a smith who does boring and rifleing.. I also don't think I can rechamber to 35 Rem..it is rimless and I think it would be too hard to change the action to 35 Rem.Specially the bolt face etc..I'd have to look at rim sizes for that matter. That is why I was lookin at 32-40..or maybe 38-55
