The simple answer is find another gunsmith.
Looking at the pictures that you provided, it would appear your barrels are Damascus and not of a super fine nature. Medium grade.
That simplifies things for you, because nationally there are far fewer Smiths that are very knowledgeable about Damascus barrels than general smiths.
And they are also typically very knowledgeable about the actions attached to them.
So, just use the search function, find the names of some recommended competent double Smith’s, their phone numbers will be there.
they get listed in every thread of that type, and then decide who you want to use.
There are probably about 10 reliable guys, well spread out.
