They're Back
 

Received my Bernard barrels back from Breck Gorman , in the same indestructible packaging I sent them in, a couple of days ago and they are magnificent!

They were completely silver when I sent them... I mean there was absolutely no contrast whatever and you really had to look to see that they were actually Bernard Steel... the inscription on the rib confirmed it though.

Thanks Breck for the awesome job you did on these barrels! This 'project gun' is getting closer and closer to completion.

A 1 frame 16Ga? or 12

The finish looks fantastic, but then Breck does great work!

It’s a 12 on a 1-frame.

Does nice work ! Had a two barrel set done by him they are beautiful , now tell him to send you the extractor and screw .

I removed them before I sent the barrels.... long before I even decided on Breck Gorman to refinish the barrels.

dean them barrels are really nice...I really like the way the rib looks...charlie

Impressive for sure. Always nice when gun work turns out that well. Some of these fellas do amazing work. That's a fast turnaround also as I recall ?

A hint of things to come.

Triple click on this one.

dean what's with the Shamrock?

Very well done!

Legh, I believe it is supposed to be a dogwood blossom. Most graded Parker hammer guns that don't have rib matting had that or some other engraving done over the filed-flat screw head that secures the doll's head rib extension more firmly than just solder. All Parkers with a doll's head rib extension have the screw but it is matted over on later guns.

Fantastic job!

Thanks Drew - As can be seen on the E.C. Meacham "Premiere" as well as on my last picture, the joint between the rib and the rib extension was also disguised by engraving.
