Default WTB Galazan .410 Barrels

Does anyone have a set of Galazan .410 barrels for a 28 gauge Repro that have not been installed? I would be interested in purchasing a set.

mine are not for sale, but they work flawlessly after Bill Schwartz fittted
them to the 28 gauge repro, but I cant believe that CSMC only made 2 sets, surly at some price they would sell you
a set.

Bill
Mine are not for sale either. Mine made for a well balanced, if heavy, 6 1/2 lb gun.

I somehow have a number like $4k in memory that CSM had on them after they said they had them in stock.

Actually Chuck, in the Galazan catalogs #16, 17 & 18 they were listed at $4800.00/set--and that did not include fitting . . . wonder if they were overwhelmed with orders at that price? They were no longer listed in catalog #19 which was recently sent out.

I've been toying with the idea of taking a DHE two barrel (28ga) set, adding a set of 410 Briley tubes and having a dedicated 28 / 410 set. Both barrels are 28". The economics of creating a set of 410 barrels would be a plus....the added weight might be a minus. Has anyone else had experience with adding Briley tubes (or other manufacture) to a set of 28gauge barrels.....and with what results / thoughts?

I've got a set of 28 -.410 Chambermates. The Chambermates only weigh a total of 2.4 ounces and have 3" chambers. They work just great, in the field and on the range, ejects spent hulls like a champ and have never failed. I find that they double my pleasure and double my fun without being weighty, cumbersome or pricey.

1. Shown below with .410 3" shells for size comparison.
2. How slick they fit in their case within my Po' Man's Parker's case.
3. Their effectiveness.

That's a good suggestion. Are there any issues with heavy usage? We have a Collard / Eurasian Dove area where you can go through 2-3 cases of shells over a 2 day period. I did a quick web search and it appears Seminole isn't selling product at this time.

Ray, I've read satisfactory reports about using Chambermates for high volume dove shooting in Argentina, however; my personal usage of them has been limited to perhaps 4 rounds of skeet/outing or a round of sporting clays/day. Since purchased I probably have a grand total of 4-5 flats of shells shot through them and have replaced the rubber o-rings just one time.
