Any recommendations on a gunsmith to open up the choke on a barrel? Want a decent job but don't want to spend an arm and a leg. Thanks. |

If you want to go real cheap, I opened a choke on an Iver Johnson single barrel with a automobile brake cylinder hone. went thru a few sets of stones and took it from a tight full to a tight mod. |

Mike Orlen - good price, great turnaround. I have two guns that were opened up and wouldn't think of using anyone else. |

Opened bores on my Webley Scott 16 ga double. Master barrel gunsmith and charges $40 per barrel. Great guy and easy to talk with! |
