Default Who can fix this?

I have a couple of old 1970s colt peacemakers and one has a front blade that looks a wee bit off to the left. I need the barrel turned just a smidge and it would be straight.
I’m in LA and wonder who would be a good smith for the repair.

I would call Colt. In the 1990's I had a S&W 66 built in the 70's that the barrel was canted just a bit. I called the customer service. They had me send it to them and they turned the barrel. I am not sure what other gun smithing they did to make it happen. It took about 4 weeks and the cost of shipping to them.

Worked out great.

I would shoot it first to see if it shoots to point of aim. In the old west, it was common to bend and/or file front sights even on new guns to regulate them.
