1911 Barrel fitting

Does anyone have recommendations for a gunsmith who can fit a replacement barrel to a 1911?
Been suggested Lindsay Abbott in Canberra but cant find any contact details.

Do it yourself, no magic to it. Any Club Armourer should be able to do it blindfolded.

Barrel is short chambered; I'm not buying a finish reamer for one job.
The rest of the fitting looks straight forward, but yeah, not keen on buying a $250 reamer.
