The CH Bernard gun was separated from its barrels in a house in PA. The back end of the gun went to the West Coast, the barrels, forends and case ended up at the Allentown, PA show where Kevin saw them and told me about them. The DH gun was separated from its barrels, the Damascus barrels ending up at a gun show in NC and the rest of the gun in Georgia. Gary Carmichael bought those Damascus barrels in NC , took them home to Virginia and offered them for sale. I saw the ad, bought them and took them to Maryland. The fluid steel barrels that came from out of the blue ended up with John Davis in Georgia. He would use those and the 74151 forend on his BH two barrel project. Those barrels would have disappeared into gun commerce except that I saw John's ad offering them for sale. When John and I were negotiating, he realized that I owned the back end of the gun that belonged to his barrels and forend. So, like always, I bought them. Now everything is safe at home in Maryland. Two complete two barrel sets reunited. I think I got all this right.
