Gunsmith Needed To Ream A Fixed Choke Near Lodi

[chrometip78]

I have an early 80's 870 with a 30" fixed full choke barrel that I want to get reamed. The barrel's in great shape, like to keep it with the gun and need a reputable gunsmith so it still hits where it's pointed. Both localish gunsmith's I've used are no longer in business.

Only two I see close by are Into The Breech Gunsmithing and Rusty's Gunsmithing but I don't know anything about either one. Would appreciate any experience you have with either or suggestions on your preferred smith.

He isn't close but you can send barrel to him.

Looks like exactly what I need, thank you sir!

He's good I've used him several times and I also have to send to him.

Yep, Bob Day would be the guy to send it to.

Has anyone suggested Bob Day yet?

I'm definitely contacting Bob Day....

I considered another barrel but I already have two spares and the original is in great condition and matches the rest of the gun well.

Both are fixed full chokes unfortunately, a 28 & 30. Thinking the 28 reamed to improved and the 30 to modified. I'm mostly going to be shooting recreational clays and on rare occasions hunting turkey, pheasant, or duck. Anyone has better suggestions for my setup, I'm all ears.

I'd prolly put screw chokes in the 28 and use the 30 to fund it.

Selling one of my extra barrels may be the smart thing to do, I have an additional 30" full that I could put on the market.

Might even see about a trade with whomever does the choke work. Prolly not the cheapest, but eliminates some hassle.

That's a great idea, I'll ask him. I hear Bob Day is good.

Just curious does that 30" have a rib or plain barrel?
