Fitting barrels to action

[J. A. EARLY]

Joe,

If you do go through with the fitting, engraving, and refinishing then you had just as well have the barrels renumbered to match the gun. As has been said, it's only money (and a lot in my opinion for the end result).

Maybe even find another forend and mate that to the barrels? $$$$$$$$$$$$

You'll buy another good GH a lot cheaper.

I just had Brad Bachelder fit two extra sets of VR barrels I had to a VR Trap gun.
It came out nice and the cost was well worth it.
I now have 3 sets of VR barrels on one gun: 26 inch skeet in/out, 30 inch FF and 32 inch ??.
I am a happy guy.
Note- all barrels were Remington vintage and the two extra sets were badly in need of refinishing. They have not been refinished yet- I want to shoot the new sets awhile before I go whole hog.
Like Dean says- money will do wonders.

Robin,
You mentioned in this thread concerning gunsmiths and who we recommend. I've lived in Arizona for many years and currently can't recommend a single gunsmith in the state, I currently have 3 s x s at three different gunsmiths in three different states for various types of work. One of which is a new young gunsmith here in AZ, he is doing some work on a 16 gauge Fox Sterlingworth as a test. Hoping to finally have someone within driving distance for high quality s x s projects.

Good choice not giving the "new young gunsmith" a Parker to test his skills on...
