Tom Wilkenson in Oxford NC is the top choice of the Big Dogs of trapshooting for barrel work. Ken Eyster in Ohio also has an excellent reputation.

Mike Orlen, Amherst, MA - arguably the best bore and choke man today.

There was some recent discussion over on the "Doublegunshop" forum recently about Mike Orlen.I would check with Mike before I sent anything over to him. I hope all is good as his work is first rate.

I don't know if Mike Orlen can or will do back boring but with his reputation for choke and bore work I would be very surprised if he will not.

John, the last price list I have from Mike O. shows that he will do a back bore and polish but on 12 and 16 gage guns only.
