Default Choke work on parkers

Folks I have a couple Parker’s I want to have the chokes opened up on for skeet and ducks over decoys, who do you trust to open them up , I’m in central Washington but don’t mind shipping across the country for quality work.

Thanks in advance

I was thinking of Mike Orlen of Amherst MA too. Mike does excellent choke and chamber work but he sometimes doesn't communicate well, occasionally taking days or even a couple of weeks to reply or respond... but the work does get done and done well.

I will admit, I was nervous when I was unable to reach Mike. In actuality, he did my set of barrels in 10 days, and I gave him the dimensions I wanted. He hit them spot on and the bores are as near perfect as a 120 gun can be. $120 is a bargain.
Mike only does barrel work, so he's not spread thin in any department. The best part is I hand delivered them, and picked them up, avoiding any shipping horrors.
