If it is handgun work, the American Pistolsmith's Guild has a list of members by state here.

Penrod Precision is close to you. Mark Penrod is the name. He is close to Fort Wayne. I think he primarily works on bolt action rifles.

My classmate Lew Throne can time Pythons or rebarrel handguns. He was the best machinist in my class (17 years machinist before going to gunsmithing school). ThroneArms.
