For a #1 barreling job try Martini and Hagn.
For the actual barrel, there are several makers - all with their own benefits.

I think he would do another Ruger - he just finished mine.
But , you are correct chuck, he is getting behind, and I'm not too sure he is taking on just any run of the mill work - it would have to tweak his interest!

I spoke with him today and he's getting allot of parts from my address come December 1st. Sounds like his winter is full though.
