Talked to the guy in town who’s a “gunsmith” and he has to see the shotgun & all the pieces parts before he knows if he will do it 

so I need to find another gunsmith or drive 5 hours if my pistol smith is willing to work on it

What he's actually saying is that he doesn't know if he CAN do it. There are a lot of gun butchers out there that call themselves "gunsmiths." Ask him where he learned his trade. A real gunsmith would not need to see all that in advance. All he should need to know is what model shotgun it is and what changes you want made. He might also want to know where you got the parts to ensure they are quality although, if he doesn't ask and the parts you give him are sub-standard, he will let you know and probably refuse to use them. Failure of crappy parts is always blamed on the gunsmith who installed them.

Out of curiosity, what shotgun is it and what changes do you want to make and why?

I’ve gotten stupid & have a Magpul SGA stock, QD sling mounts & Aridus adapter, Holosun & low rail mount and BFG sling all on order along with a case of cheap OO and  some more of the good Federal ammo 🤣🤣🤣

I'm not familiar with that Aridus adapter or BFG sling but none of that sounds very difficult to install.
