Barrel restoration
 

I've been quite succesful in the past with my restoration work ,but this Parker got me a little nervous ,the barrel's have a couple dent's that need work and maybe a re-finish (bernard damascus) is there anyone willing to take work from Canada and what kind of money are we talking about ?
Thank's for your time

Try Dale Edmonds in Kansas City, MO.. He did a wonderful job on a set of (very) dented Bernard barrels for me.

Dale certainly has the best reputation for restoring damascus barrels. I would also consider Brad Bachelder in Grand rapids, MI. He just did a set of twist barrels for me that look new and perfect.

Got any contact info for these guy's ?

Here is Brad Bachelder's contact info. He just restored my 'Plain Twist' barrels and did a swell job!

Also, here is a link with photos of Brad's work. Good luck!

Dale refinished a set of Bernard barrels for me and they were nothing short of perfect in every detail. Further, they came back absolutely black and white! I couldn't have been more pleased.

I'd check Craige Smith also Circlefly is his website theres pictures on there. good luck

Bernard Barrels
 

Mr. Dawe, Dale Edmonds is in Kansas City at 816 444 2040.

Following are two photos. The first is a detail of a Bernard barrel set refinished by Dale, whom I have chosen to do my work. There are other talented damascus barrel refinishers. The second photo is of three Bernard barrel sets, the mid one refinished, the top and bottom original.

If your question about work from Canada was directed to governmental import restrictions, I am not aware of US restrictions on barrels alone for you to send from Canada into the US. I don't know anything about sending barrels from the US into Canada. Generally a firearm
is considered to be the action.

Chris, does Nick Makinson in Ontario do that work? He has done wonderful other work for me. Regards, King

I believe Nicholas Makinson in London, Ontario 'browns' damascus 519-471-5462

C.J. Opacak in Toronto does a very nice 'black & white' 416-299-4865
