Brad Bachelder just returned the barrels of my CE Fox which had the worst external barrel pitting I have ever seen on a gun. Someone had put the gun away damp in a flannel sleeve and there it sat for 25 or 30 years in a closet. Brad laser welded the pits, restruck and re-engraved the breech detail on the barrels, then cold rust blued them. I can't believe he was able to bring them back. I neglected to take a "before" picture of them; I asked Brad and Parker to take one and really hope they did. Should find out this week, at which time I'll post both pics. Simply amazing work!!
