Hi I was wondering if there is anyone around the Carroll county area that can restore my 1950’s Remington wingmaster 12ga?

Where is he based out of?
When’s a good time to call him?
In my honest opinion, the monetary worth of your shotgun might not stand the test of how much a professional restoration would cost. It you were willing to ship it in state, you might find an ODTer to do it for you. No offense to any pros, as the labor involved is intense, unless you do it as a hobby.
JMHO.

I appreciate your opinion, I had one guy a few years ago quote me around 600 to restore it. Which I didn’t think was to bad, that was even rebluing. I can’t even put a price on this gun because it has so much sentimental value. It’s been handed down 4 generations and will be handed down to my son next.
Good on you, sir. That sort of honest sentiment is rare these days.
If I may suggest, a few pictures may draw in a pro or two, better.
Honey, so to speak.
Good luck!

A good hot bluing job can run as much as 400 bucks. Then the wood work has to be done. I refinished this old Stevens and it turned out really nice. It wasn't a hot blue job though but still a vast improvement over the rust bucket it was.
