Recommendation Gunsmith to Rejoin Barrels

I have a Charles Boswell SLE in need of a little TLC. The barrels are off face. Can anyone recommend a gunsmith to put an English gun back on face? Thanks for your help!

Griffin & Howe did a wonderful job on my C.G. Bonehill SLE. They are located in Andover NJ.

I think they job it out and don't do it in house. I think

Incorrect. They do the work on site in their own shop. They have a large gunsmith shop employing quite a few smiths.

You cannot go wrong with Kirk Merrington. Funny, I spent half a day with him yesterday. It is always educational and fascinating. We removed a total of 32 dents from dings to crashes in 11 guns, and I watched him make firing pins for a high end Spanish sidelock 28 that a friend of mine owns.

The horrendous ding in my VERY early $125 Lifter came up perfectly.

He has done rejoints on at least half a dozen of my guns.
