I'd suggest Jack Huntington, he's likely done as many or more SRH conversions as anyone else.

I've talked to Jack in the past about cutting down my 480 to 5 1/2", and he had a very reasonable quote. I never got the work done as the gun shoots so well, I don't want to mess it up. Some day I'll get another 480 and have it cut down.

I've got a redneck bandsaw (hacksaw) and a milling machine (file). I've had Mag-Na-Port cut down barrels and I really like their crowning job.
