New NJ Owner looking for a Shotgun Gunsmith

[Hurley2301 0]

Afternoon guys. Like the title says. New gun owner in NJ. Picked up a mossy 500 and a ruger 10/22. The mossy is an older model and does not have the receiver drilled and tapped from the factory for a rail.

 We Shoot in Brick said they couldn't do it. 

Howell gun works is just not responding. 

Anyone know of a gunsmith that could do this? Ocean County preferably but will travel if the shop has a great record. 

 

Thanks in advance!

Try to find a good smith is the problem.  Had my Ithaca M37 for scope bases done a long time ago

Howell gun works is probably your closest good bet.  They’re likely just inundated with business/customers.

You may need to go there in person to get their attention.

Tier 1 defense is another well regarded gunsmith, farther north.  They were hard to get ahold of before the Covid panic, no idea how responsive they are now:
