10 gauge bbls
I had a set of bbls from a wrecked 10 ga, 2 frame lifter that were just sitting around for the last couple years. When I got them they had been cut to 27", had no top rib or extractor. They were rusty and pitted somewhat on the outside but the inside looked pretty good. I'm making a project out of them and plan to fit them to the 12 gauge I posted about getting the testing and tig work done on. I have a set of 12 gauge lifter bbls that were run over by a truck and ruined that's providing the rib. Here's a few pics: 1) The 10 gauge bbls polished. 2) The 12 gauge donor bbls. 3) The rib bent from the truck wreck. 4) The bent rib in the 10 gauge bbl channel. 5) Heat being applied to the straightening jig. 6) Straightened rib back in the channel. 7) What you see when a rib is removed. Thanks to Jim Dispagno for the jig idea and Thomas L. Benson Sr for the rib and bbls.
