Hi - looking to get a ballpark idea of what pricing would be (or even if it would be advisable from a safety/shootability standpoint) for some basic gun modifications, as I am shopping for a new grouse/woodcock gun, and I would really like say a 16 ga SxS but of course finding something that matches all of the specs is a challenge (especially for me as I have a short LOP).
1) Cutting stock
2) Opening up chokes
3) Cutting down the barrels properly (e.g., chokes are correct type but too long)
4) getting a stock custom made or made to a spec. (to get LOP, DaC/DaH, etc. correct).
I'm frequently finding guns that are say, maybe they fit my LOP (or are close - i am short, and i actually would like to see some cut down examples but most ads aren't super forthcoming about this) and say I find that gun that looks like it would fit, right gage, weight, etc., but then it's got F/F chokes. Wanna be able to make better decision about should I get that one, try to re-choke, versus getting one that the stock doesn't really fit (at the very least too long) but the chokes/barrel length is what i want. Thanks!
