tweedledee Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 what kind of shotgun? i would think it would have to be sent to the mainland for this kind of work.it will be expensive and you may be better to think if the gun is worth it?

Most dealers I know send guns to Teague and get the work done there. As for gunsmiths, you couldn't go too far wrong with Tommy Lutton down in Portadown. He can be a bit dear at times, but he know his stuff, and if there are any parts that are no longer available, Tommy can normally fabricate them.
