Where to get a Smith 686 serviced

[simulate]

The old 686 is failing from years of use (not indexing, light strike, etc.)
Anyone know where I can find a reputable gunsmith that can service it and bring it back up to scratch?
Thanks a lot.

Murray Charleton in Vancouver is a S&W warranty guy, and he does good work on smiths. - dan

armco does top notch work, but check with him about how busy he is

I thought Charlton was in (or near) Victoria? Is MD Charlton a different outfit?

Same guy, my memory of his location is just a little faulty after all these years. - dan

Many thanks for the leads, folks, I will chase them down and see what I can get for service.
Thanks again
The gun business is complicated, so a little help goes a long way!
