I assume I'll have the barrel set back appropriately, etc. To that end, can anybody recommend any smiths in Oregon or Washington? Thanks.

He can AI that tube for you pretty easily. IIRC, cost should be in the $125.00 range as he will remove the barrel and set it up in a lathe to get it spot on. I have used him quite a bit as has gunwriter Ross Seyfreid, who lives nearby him. Don't quote me on that price, it just seems to me what he quoted me or charged me for similar once.
