Barrell Recrown in the midlands

Who'd be my closest gunsmith these days - Kinnegad/Mullingar region?

Need to get the Remi recrowned - and it'll likely have to be a handtool job as the barrel and receiver are all one piece.

What do you mean the barrel and receiver are all one piece? What rifle is it?
I wouldn't particularity ever want a recrown job done with hand tools if it were me.
The crown is the last thing the bullet touched and as such is extremely important for accuracy, If it is not cut right, sharp and not concentric then your results will be poor. 99.9 of barrels can be easily removed from the action with a barrel wrench etc..

yup, but not in 1932.

Remington Model 34 - inherited. It's not in the best shape but it's got sentimental value and a beautiful trigger. Accuracy isn't what I'd like it to be though and the crown is in pretty poor shape. I want to address that first to see what she can do before I decide to either de-ac and wall hang or invest and recondition. I'd love for her to give me a reliable inch at 50 yards, but if she can't then I'll be hanging her up and going for a moderated 1417.

If it interests you, Ive a manson reamers muzzle recrown kit. You could recrown the muzzle yourself to see if its worth salvaging
