Default Shotgun restoration

My dad's Belgium Browning A5 has seen better days. He replaced the wood before he died in 2001. He also set it up as a slug gun and we don't know where the original screws are for the action.

I was looking at it today. It still functions but I would like to bring it back to new condition. Who would you suggest to do the work? I would like it reblued, choke rebored to modified, parts replaced as needed, and possibly the wood replaced with a lighter original looking wood.

Maybe Basha Sports? Corlane's? Others?

This is not something I'm doing for collector purposes. It is a very well used gun that my dad carried for thousands of miles through pheasant country, duck marshes and sloughs, deer drives, deer stands, trap shoots and all around pest control from pigeons to squirrels. I killed my first deer and first goose with this gun and I want it to hunt again and look good doing it.

What are your thoughts and opinions.

Thanks
