I have a couple of older Browning A5 Shotguns that have split forearms. I'd like to get the forends replaced and have them match the butt as close as possible. Does anyone know of a good gunsmith for this type of work? I understand the butt will need to be refinished also. The guns are in fair shape and have sentimental value. I want to get them fixed up a little. I also want to get them blued and properly cleaned. Any ideas as to what would be a fair price for this type of work?

Love them Humpbacks!

Don't just buy replacements from Boyd's.

You would be trading select grade English walnut that fits for utility grade walnut with a spray finish that doesn't fit.

Yes, I have seen the Boyd's stocks and wasn't impressed either. I want these projects done "right". Any other ideas as to where I should start looking?
