Sent off some barrels today
 

Well I took the plunge on mailing a set of barrels off today. When I lived down in the Houston area I had Freer gun shop reblue a set of barrels for my old Parker VH 32".

But I had always been a little hesitant about mailing a gun off. Well I guess gunbroker work buying and dealing with my friend of the Left Coast has lessened my anxiety about it.

I sent the 12 gauge set of my 2 barrel DH off to Mr. Bachedler to get them refinished. It was just a shame with a gun with good case colors and beautiful wood to have damascus barrels with a very faded pattern and some discoloration to them, so off they went. I love the gun, and will love it more when the pattern is better!

Looking forward to the "after" pictures.

As am I, you can get an idea of the barrels in my album, but I will definitely post a before and after when I get them back.

I am sure I will eventually send the 10s off as well, but they didn't need it as bad as the 12s.

I've had several sets of Damascus barrels redone by Brad, you won't be disappointed with the results!

Not at all worried about the work....more about the shipping too and from...

Huh?

Mr. Murphy I am a little anxious about them not being lost during transport :) Not a serious concern, but it is there.

Just be certain they have your correct return address:whistle:

There was a story locally a week ago where a set of grandparents were awaiting a christmas gift they ordered, for their grandchild, to arrive via UPS.
The driver showed up and delivered the package they were waiting for, they were surprised to open it and find a rifle and ammunition inside. Not whatever it was they ordered for theor grandchild.

Merry Christmas.

Got to love UPS. Today, I sent out two 12x12x12" boxes; both 11 pounds. One went to New Orleans, $21 and guaranteed by Friday. The other went to Kodiak, Alaska. She said it would be $91, delivered by Friday, or for $3 more, by air and delivered Wednesday.
