Help with Ithaca Flues
 

I bought an ithaca flues 20 gauge damascus barrels and I knew when I bought it that the barrels did not fit the action correctly, so I am attempting to fix it. I have removed the hinge pin and disassembled, cleaned and oiled all the parts. However when I try to fit the barrels to the action they are not within tolerance. When you clamp down the barrel flats to the action there is a discernable space between the barrel and the action and when you clamp the barrel and action together the barrel flats do not meet the action. I do not know what can be done to fix the problem. Is it possible to weld material onto the barrel flats? Or should I just put it back together and declare it a wall hanger? Any information or insight would be helpfull as there is no gunsmiths were I live that do this kind of work.

It sounds like the barrels were made for another gun. If so, to remedy the problem could be pretty expensive, if even possible.

The serial numbers on the barrels match the action. Sorry I neglected to mention that.

Send gun to Brad Baldecher he can put them back on face, will require welding hook and refitting.
