In need of repairs
 

My 16ga Ithaca has a problem, the Forend lug is separating from the barrels.
My first go to gunsmith, our own Brian, is too busy. Any recommendations as to whom I can send these barrels to? Shoot I can’t post the photo.
Thanks…

sounds like you need a barrel guy, how about John Hosford, or Mike Orlen, or Black Diamond gunsmithing

Harold, thanks for the suggestions.

Breck Gorman,

yes Craig, I was trying to think of his name but had a brain fart!

Thanks guys, I sent Brock a pm.

I “had” a VHE 12 that the forend lug came loose and I sent it to Giacamo they did a great job . Later I “had” a PH 8 gauge twist barrels that the forend lug fell off the barrels , I sent that one to Breck and he did a great job .

We’ve found Mike Orlen to be an excellent choice for screw in choke work and if my memory serves stock bending .

Rib and lug separation problems are typical of Ithaca SXS's.

Hello Angel,

You have received many great suggestions,
I’ve used Gunter Pfrommer in Rocky Mount VA for repairs to a barrel fore end lug. I found his work to great, reasonably priced and the turn around time to be less than most smiths.
Let me know if you want his contact info.
