Recommendations for 8" SBS gunsmith

[C0rv3tte 1]

Can anyone recommend a gunsmith to build a reliable 8" SBS?

I like the Tromix 8" and also the Evlutionz 6.5" builds. I have shotguns that were worked on by both, and am very happy. Unfortunately, neither are currently doing any Saiga 12 work, so I ask for referrals from you all. Thank you, in advance, for your recommendations.

I don't know if Mike over at Lone Star Arms is going that short or not.

I got in a car wreck and had to call it a day after finally realizing my 'self' wasn't coming back. I'm not the same physical and intellectual resource I used to be and that's ok, nothing lasts forever. I'm not aware of anyone specializing in them anymore. It's a shame. I planned on doing it at least another 30 years but someone else had other ideas 🙃

I am sorry to hear. You performed work on a Komrad for me. I love it. May I ask you a question, via PM or email?

And, for those who are familiar, comparing both side by side mechanically, are there 2 drastically different methodologies employed by Tony Rumore Tromix and Anthony Hitch Evlutionz, or are they relatively similar on the inside?
