    Dillinger had a Texas based gunsmith named Hyman Lehman do the work for him. Lehman also sold to Baby Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd, & Roger “The Terrible” Touhy. Basically he was like an outlaw gunsmith.

        I think I would too. A Breaking Bad style period piece about a gunsmith for gangsters could be gold.
