Need front sight help - SHOTGUN

[aviator41]

Anyone in the OKC/Edmond area willing to solder a front sight bead or recommend a smith to do so?

I'm ready to start refinishing my 1897 shotgun, cut and finished the barrel at 20" and need a new front bead.

I know there's a fine shotgun smith in Enid, one in Lawton, and probably several in Tulsa.

I need one in the OKC metro.

Frankly, if I could get the bead soldered on and the barrel threaded for chokes, I'd be even happier!

Not sure what it would cost, but I don't expect it to be free. I'd send it to D&T, but something tells me he has plenty of work and I'm not sure if he does this kinda stuff.

So, hit me with some recommendations ya'll

Olyeller just for one option.

no thanks, I dont do silver soldering, and I dont do little jobs anymore. Never did choke threading, if it can be threaded for chokes, Steve Baldwin is who you want. 399-2875

why do you need a bead soldered on. most are threaded on with 3x56 threads.
most 97 barrels are way to thin for choke tubes unless you cut it down to 18-20"
