    Anyone know of a local gunsmith who can competently drill-and-tap an 870 for the standard Rem hole pattern, preferably at a reasonable cost? I have an older one that I'm going to upgrade to ghost ring + optic.

    I have contacted the three local shops in Rockville and never got a response, so obviously, looking for something else. Prefer something in the Rockville area or within 45 minutes drive, I'm not going to travel hours for this.

    Ed harren and Tim Hafer are both solid choices. Not sure of pricing or turn around times ...

    Hafer is located just west of HAGERSTOWN. Ed is near the 355/75 interchange in southern FredCo...

    Hagerstown is way, way out of the envelope. Monrovia is a reasonable drive. I'll shoot Walt an email and see how much he charges.

    Where ever you go, call ahead of and ask the wait time on gunsmithing.
    I have a 22 I'm getting threaded at Scotts and it was I think a 2-3 month wait. I'm not in a hurry though.
