21 engraving

Unfortunately, I do not know the identity of the engraver. Once I saw it I knew I had to have it. It has the most life like animal engraving I have ever seen on a gun.

Ok I did get that comment but as this has just happened, I have not got around to dismantling any shells. That is in my plans. Do you think before I open up the shells it would be prudent to contact Winchester ammo?

Winchester may want you to send them the remaining shells.... then what have you got?... Nothing.

If you contact Winchester ask if they will accept findings from an independent lab.

OK that’s kind of why I haven’t taken them apart yet independent lab is good advice

This is a rough scan of Winchester's standard disclaimer on ammunition packaging. Was your gun "in good condition"? And can you prove it? Did you check the barrel for obstructions prior to firing this round? Or "excess lubricant"? If not, you have a slim case. Or none at all. Just my view of things...

$5300 for a set of barrels seems reasonable. Sleeving is about $2K for both barrels plus extras. A new set of British barrels is well over $12K.
