Looking for recommendations for a gunsmith in the area to cut down a 16" to 14.5" and pin/weld the muzzle device. I know there are plenty of people to whom I could ship the barrel (like ADCO), but I wonder if there is anyone local that would be recommended.

John does excellent work. I'm not sure how close you might be to him but if you do end up shipping it, he is in IL.

Thanks for the recommendation. He looks like a good outfit. Unfortunately, he's a little too far to drive. I'm around Peoria so his place would be about 2.5 hours away. If I end up shipping the barrel I'll definitely talk to him.

I'd highly recommend him.  His turn around is usually pretty quick.  I've had him shorten several barrels for me and he usually has them back in the mail the same day they arrived or the next day.  He communicates very well via e-mail and my cutdowns/barrel theading were around $65 per barrel plus shipping.
