Gunsmith Recommendation

I inherited my Granddad's 16 Gauge L.C. Smith Field Grade SxS with 28" barrels (serial #4441x) when he died in 2001. He bought this shotgun at a gun show in the 1960's. The shotgun is in very good condition with case coloring intact and no stock alterations evident. Here is the catch: He purchased the gun with a damaged left barrel that cannot be repaired. He always thought he would find another set of barrels for this LC, but no luck. For 60 years it has been a family quest to find another set of barrels and low and behold this past Sunday I found a set of barrels at a local gun show, same length, choke, gauge, etc.! The serial number on the replacement barrels is (4243x) only 1,982 apart. I am seeking a gunsmith recommendation for proper fitting and an overall assessment of this firearm. I am located one hour north of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
