I wouldn't mind doing the same thing, getting a set in the white so I could file and engrave on them. Let me know when Tony or Lou gets back to you. Bill Murphy

Of course, they'd have my money before sending them out and it would be understood that they'd only issue a refund if I did not alter them in any way. What's wrong with that, given the reservations all of us have? Tony, Lou are you monitoring this thread?

Greg, I may have confused one ad with the other. I don't mean to throw gas of the fire without just cause.

Was the fitting problem with the original barrels making up the Repro 16/20 G sets (approximately 500) made by Krieghoff for Winchester or those commissioned by CSMC which were void of Krieghoff markings???
I have an original set of Krieghoff Winchester 16 G barrels that are unfitted and they look to be very simple to match with any 20G Repro I select.

I believe the "fitting problem" is in reference to the CSMC 16 ga barrels which, if I recall correctly, were made by Merkel. They are devoid of markings except for a serial number, guage, and chamber length on the barrel flats plus a frame size stamp on the lug.

We had to almost give away what we think was a factory two barrel set with Krieghoff barrels because the doll's head was so poorly fitted. I don't know if Krieghoff or Skeuse fitted them, I'm assuming Skeuse. Krieghoff had them white and unengraved and could have easily done a better job. I assume most of the 16-20 sets were much better.

Actually Bill, according to the Shotgun Sports article by Sisley it was reported that the barrels were fit by Krieghoff.

There are several variables in fitting either a set of Krieghoff barrels or the CSMC/Merkel barrels to a Reproduction. Certainly one is the expertise of the person fitting them and the care in which the barrels are machined and filed. Another important consideration is the height of the barrel breeches from the flats to the topmost level of the dolls head extension as compared to the standing breech of the frame from the water tables to the upper extremity of the recess in the frame where the doll's head sits.

The lug, bolt plate and how they engage the guns bolt are important as well.... my gun won't lock up properly with the CSMC barrels. I've always wondered if they would work on a different 0-frame gun but have never tried it.

Dean Romig · 01-26-2010, 08:46 PM

You're right Dave but I'm not sure it would make any difference which Repro frame they are fitted to. Barrel sets will usually fit between one Repro to another - the greatest issue might be the position of the lever, there being only the difference of one or two thousandths of an inch involved in 1/2" in lever position.

Describe the problem you are having in lock up?
