    Need a Gunsmith, shotgun barrel work.

    I lost the gentlemen's contact info that i swear i found on here one time. He was reasonably priced for cutting, crowning, installing sights on shot gun barrels. used him on several barrels years ago and can't fine his info.

    Have two single shot barrels that need some cutting sight install, etc.

    Anyone remember?

    Thanks!

    Unfortunately our local gunsmith passed away. Shop closed and everything sold off. Was located in Waunakee. There is no one left in my area worth a dang.
    Where is the location of your gunsmith?

    It was someone that was on this site, mailed out the barrels, can’t remember. Local smiths at 40% more than what he charged

    I can vouch for John's work. He's done multiple weird projects for me and I have been well satisfied. The Guru of the Infamous Bunny Gun.

    Keep it to yourself.

    Thumbs up for Mike Orlen, he has done several choke installs for me. the last one was for my sons 20 gauge over under which we dropped of in person and he did it for us while we went and grabbed some lunch. Great service
