Default Barrel checks

Hey guys, probably been covered before, but who do you use to check out Damascus and twist barrels for safety? Approximately what are the estimated cost associated with a barrel safety check?
Thanks for all your help !!

I'm in Downeast Maine, East Machias to be exact, I might be the only one in the region that wants an old Parker twist!

139 Market St. in Fort Kent... might be too far?

How far are you from Forest City?
