Gary...Tried the Hoppe's with frontier pad. It did clean the barrels, but did not
Bring out the Damascus pattern. I'm planning on taking the gun to my gunsmith and have a estimate done on restoring barrels. I have had great luck Cleaning interior of barrels with Frontier pad attached to wood dowel chucked Into drill. Really makes them shine. Jim P |

Jim, I wouldn't take the barrels to just any gunsmith for restoration. There's a small handful of expert Damascus restorers in the country. Most likely, a "regular" gunsmith will just ship the barrels to one of them and then add a middle man charge to the cost. Or worse yet, he may try to restore the Damascus himself and make a mess of it. Brad Bacheldor is a member here and very accomplished at damascus restoration.

Thanks for the input. I have a few mechanical issues to deal with also
just going to get estimate on redoing barrels to get idea on cost. I have had great luck with my gunsmith on other doubles. |
