Have located and purchased a nice set of DHE frame 2 barrels. Taking delivery of them this Thursday and then off to Dan Cullity's shop 10 minutes away. These barrels were made by Parker 3 yrs prior to the DHE they will be fitted to. They are clean and unmolested. I am hoping that Dan will assess that fitting will not be a major undertaking.

The barrels are Damascus but I am told by the pgca mbr seller that there is plenty of metal. I will have Dan measure the thickness in any event. This DHE was originally produced with Damascus barrels and while these barrels are not original to the gun, returning the gun to more or less its original configuration is enough in spirit to satisfy me. And as long as the barrels are safe to shoot, I have no issue whatsoever. I would love to know the hack gunsmith who butchered the 31 inch titanic barrels and then falsified the serial numbers on those barrels.

It is my opinion that Damascus, or most any composite barrels from a Parker or most any other American gunmaker, are as good as the fluid-pressed steel barrels they eventually adopted. Remembering the change took place because producing fluid-pressed steel barrels was a less labor intensive process (read cheaper) than composite barrels. Further, they have been shot with any number of heavy loads, both composite and fluid-pressed, that any rupture due to occlusions or flaws would have already happened. Certainly I would make sure the wall thickness is adequate, but all things considered, I have no fear of composite barrels.
Again, this is just my opinion.

So, Allen, how are you able to drive on the back roads of Cap Cod at over 54 MILES PER HOUR, and not break the law? Hmmm?

Yes Dean, understood.
Edgar, you're breaking my stones! Lol. I live quite close to the Canal and it really is not far for me to get to Dan's shop.

From Allen's house to the coffee shop is 7 minutes, from there to the end of the canal on the cape side to check for breaking fish is 9 minutes and then to the shop is 8 min. As he said it is 10 min. from his house.He travels no longer than 10 min. on any leg of the trip.

Speaking of the Canal gents. The herring have been in the canal for a little over 2 weeks now. The striped bass should be showing up in numbers within 2 weeks. There are some bass in now but very spotty. In 2 weeks we will start to see some larger bass showing.
