Steven, Take this from an old guy who has been down this road. Don't get hung up on having someone local (Florida?) to do the work required. Seek out the best craftsman for engraving, barrel work, metal work, and wood work. Send the gun to them. They deserve and earn what they charge for their high quality of work! You will always appreciate best quality of work long, long after you forgot what you paid to have it done.
All the best,
Buddy
