Just received a set of barrels back from Bachelder's a half-hour ago.
When I finally got the package open and all of the protective wrapping undone... phew!... I was stunned!
These barrels are Brand New!!
If this reads like a personal endorsement - it IS :cool:

Nope - the 'rules' don't apply this time.
Y'all can see the pics when the article is published in Parker Pages. :bigbye:

Every single "experience" (read - refinish/restoration/repair done by Bachelder's) has been more than 'favorable'.

My question is why would Dean have the barrels if it's not his gun???? I think there is more to the story.

I had a tour of Brad's shop last week. Unbelievable. I'm not sure how that much knowledge fits in his head. The case coloring process, and the subtle variations of chemicals temperatures and times for the various gun manufacturers and types of metal is amazing. For such a complicated process, he said his "do over" rate was less than 1%.

I've had many guns worked on by Brad and if there was ever a question he took care of it without question. He does excellent work and backs it up. He went through some serious heart problems a little while back but he's back up and running strong.

I've had Brad do several damascus barrels, but I'm sending out my first cold rust bluing job.
He did the barrels and re-cased the receiver on this gun, but Chris Dawe re-stocked it for me. It was to be my sporting clays gun, were it not for blowing my shoulder out last summer.

Brad fixed the trigger on my Super Fox and did a good job

Charlie, each day I think it's almost normal, and the psychos at physical therapy do their number on me, and I want to throw in the towel. Tougher to get over these things at this age. (but it beats the alternative)

My daughter's got her masters in applied meteorology, but when it's pissin' down rain when it was supposed to be sunny, I call her names too.

Should that not be a 'physio' therapist?
