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
