I attempted to contact Kirk Merrington for input, but the email address listed on his website does not appear to be operational. I then emailed the photos to Keith Kearcher and his son Kody sent me this response, and granted me permission to post it here:

Justin,
I could make it look better if I were to re-blue the barrels and polish the bore after I hammer out the bulge but I will not say that it won't come back or that they will be 100% safe. ($400)

Another option and a better option would be to either sleeve the barrel ($1,000 to $1,500) or send it to Briley's and have them put tubes in.

Kody Kearcher



So it would seem from Kody's reply that everyone's sentiments expressed here are fairly accurate. What a shame for an otherwise healthy looking DHE to come to such an inglorious end.

Calling Merrington is best to reach him.

The book says it is supposed to be a 30" gun, so why even debate it?

It looks like Brian nailed it---a great parts gun for $500.
