I believe the outfit you are referring to is Gibbs Rifle Company, which is a division of Navy arms. They take #4's and 2A Ishapores and modify and customize them in all kinds of ways. You can reach them by following this link: http://www.gibbsrifle.com/
If you are looking for a #4 to customize Allan Schisel has a couple left for between $150.00-$170.00: http://www.allans-armory.com/
If you are looking for a particular #4 or #5, Kevin Carney of North China Arms is one of the best dealers I've found for locating difficult C&R rifles and pistols: http://www.armscenter.com/nca/index.html
Both Allan and Kevin are friends of mine and are super guys. Kevin can also give you all the info about anything Gibbs offers.

Hope this helps,

Jesse
