One of the reasons I look at forums is to find capable smiths to work with me on my restoration projects. Over the last few weeks I have had great experiences with a couple.
Skeets Gunsmithing in Talequah OK re-choked one of the barrels on my Remington FE that was butchered some time in the guns long life. It was a full pattern to the right--Dean centered the pattern and left plenty of choke for my trap doubles.
Murrays Custom Gunstocks in Nyssa OR duplicated a bondo laden stock from my Remington Whitmore Hammer Lifter. Very nice work! Quick turn around at a fair price.

Randy Murray is a hell of a man. Restocked a Tobin for me in really nice English that his Dad bought thirty years prior. Outstanding work, more than fair price. He took one look at the completed butt stock, all I had asked to be done, compared it to the original front wood, and whittled a new one. “Just pay for the wood, it would break my heart to see the old front wood and new back wood together on that old gun”. Best, Ted

Kirk Merrington. Dewey Vicknair. Great workmanship, and, you can save yourself a bunch of headaches by sending a gun you are considering to them for an evaluation. If a seller is hesitant to do that, at your expense, there might be good reason to avoid that gun.
Best,
Ted
