It'd be helpful if you actually listed your location on your profile, so when you ask if there's someone local, we can help you out.
I have a guy near Newmarket who does a great job, and is reasonable, it's local to your location of "Canada".

Another option you might consider is having it machined to take your screw in chokes... If the barrel wall is thick enough it can be done, and if not, they can weld a piece of thicker tube on, and thread it for chokes... I had this done with an old gun for the same reason....
ok thanks I will also look into that
Accuracy Plus can do that for ya no problem. They can ream it out, or thread it for screw in chokes.

Any idea of roughly what this costs? I picked up an old gun with some beautiful wood but would really like to use interchangeable chokes. Unfortunately if it's much more than about $100, I'd rather put the funds towards a new gun.Quote:

accuracy plus bored out my old Winchester 1200, was a few years ago and I believe it was around 30 or 40 bucks. Gun still shoots great and if I lived closer I would go back there again. The only problem was that I took it in to be done right before deer season so it took a little while to get it back.
I have to ask, why not Keith Long? Last I heard, he was in Bewdly, and while its been many years, when I did go to him, the work was always excellent!
Keith sends it to another local guy who takes to long
Heck, just cut it off yourself to 26" smooth bore and shoot all sizes of steel. Same as improved cyl.
lol....
That's new, he used to do all his own work!Quote:
