Where to get a barrel shortened, and reamed and tapped for screw in choke tubes

[Rebelson]

I have a project I'm working on to breath some life into an old pump stevens I bought for a camp and family hunting gun. It's a 520 with the standard 30" full choke barrel. I would like to shorten it to 26" and have it tapped for screw in chokes. Before you all explode it's definitely not collector grade and will be used for hunting and will be passed down. I'm trying to have that nostalgic family heirloom look while still being a viable hunting option. I may have to go with thin wall chokes but does anyone know of a person or shop that is reasonably priced and willing to take it on.

Cheers

And thanks for the advice in advance

Where are you located? I had Gretch Outdoors in Mount Forest Ontario thread my smoothbore slug barrel for a Trulock choke in the spring. Did nice work and was about $100.

I'm in wainfleet On. I found a guy in the states that does good work and has a quick turn around time, is it legal to send him just the barrel?

Cheers

If you're in ont you should get ahold of Casey at Tacord.

I did but they have a lot on there plate right now and have a long turn around time.

It's a "firearm part"... Should you decide to send it out in the US to have the job done. Make sure all your paperwork is in order.

I'm just going to wait it out in the end
