Anybody know a good smith that works on Vaquero's, nothing wrong with it but I'd just like a good tuneup where they smooth the internals and just make it feel like a custom.

I hear good things about this guy:

Bob James

I've handled a few Vaqueros that had his action & trigger jobs. Very nice work.

Try this; Bowen Classic Arms.com. Very good with Rugers. I've had two Redhawks worked on and am very satisfied. He really specializes in Ruger single actions.


If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

I had my local gun smith install a bisley hammer on mine awhile back and he polished the trigger for me. Made a world of difference.
