Fix my gun / Modding Calgary area gunsmith

Looking for a small local gunsmith or someone with a lathe in the Calgary or south of Calgary area to help me shorten a shotgun barrel.

The end split open but I’ve inspected and had it Mag particle inspected and found where the crack ends and I want to cut it an inch or two past the end of the crack

I want it done on a lathe instead of using a saw or something so it’s straight and a clean cut to avoid any more cracks forming or issues on the end. And I’m not interested in waiting for the Calgary shooting center or some place that has me waiting 2 weeks for a 15 min job

You'll be lucky if you get that done in 6 months not 2 weeks. Gun Smith's are notoriously busy with stockpiles of work. And anyone not busy probably you don't want them working on your weapon.
