Here is the scoop on the barrels. The left barrel was bulged about 6" forward from the end of the chamber. Luckily I had purchased 4 original old stock 20 gauge L C Smith barrel tubes years before I purchased the gun. I had sent the gun out previously as I was told by the Smith it was repairable. Unfortunately it turned out not so good and I felt it was not safe since the outside was struck down .035.
I read something one day about Aaron and decided to give him a call. After discussing with Aaron what I had, he felt pretty confident in replacing only the left barrel. Which is what I preferred.
George I am attaching a few pictures shortly of the sleeving work. It is monoblocked. The terminology of sleeving and lining always seems a little confusing.
