Why? Because it's a waste of money, "plus shipping" two ways. You think it's 2 1/2", and the gunsmith will confirm that, whether it's 2 1/2 or not, before sending the bill.

Because I have seen too many classic vintage guns ruined by shade tree and other unqualified smiths who mess with guns without understanding what they are doing. A whole lot of "fix today's problem" without ever getting to the root of the problem. Fast forward decades and it's another gun that is beyond salvation.
