How large of a section is lose? If it is a small area I can often do a spot repair. The larger the section that is lose the less likely a localized repair is possible. A full relay is very costly but I can do it.

It is a very labor intensive job. I'll PM you an estimate.

Dan Morgan in NY would be my choice. You've got to ship it so you might as well send it to someone who can do the job right.

When the rib on my Trojan came loose I had to have the barrels reblued, too. If you're going to do a full re-lay, count on the cost of a re-blue, too.

Steve Bertram, aka SKB, can do it right.

Dan Morgan is in Vermont instead of NY, I think.

I'm guessing you are hesitant to ship.

Did you check with Ahlman's Custom Gun in Morristown, MN? Pat Laib, in Spicer, MN? You might want to call Puglesey, in Duluth (Gary New Duluth, MN actually) to see who they are using.
Staying in MN might be a mistake, I know more gunsmiths here I WOULDN'T have work on it, than those I would. Plenty of 870/1100 mechanics here, but, few good gunsmiths.

Good Luck.

Best,
Ted

Bachelder in Grand Rapid, Michigan, may be a lot closer.

They relayed the ribs on my bird gun of over 50 years, my 1914 vintage Ansley H. Fox, A-grade, 28-inch barrel, 12-gauge. The bottom rib had a few years earlier been spot repaired by Keith Kearcher.
