I have a 24" Bergara 45-70 barrel for a T/C Encore pro hunter. I would like to get this barrel threaded for a muzzle brake. My local smith that does all my work has retired. There is no other option for me locally within driving distance. Looks like I'm going to have to send it out to get the work done. My first call to a gunsmith I have used before in N.C. told me he was well over a year out and is not taking any more work. Any recommendations or help would be appreciated.

Thanks
