I have a set of the Galazan 16ga barrels as well. I fit them to my original Repro 16/20 combo that came with the Krieghoff 16ga barrels to make it a three barrel set gun.
When I ordered the barrels from Lou @ CSMC. I asked who was making them. All Lou would say was they were being made in Germany. I've seen post's on other sites that claim they were made by Merkel, now the claim of Krieghoff. My take is no one knows for sure who made them other than Tony Galazan himself. When I have friends ask about a repro 16/20 that is for sale. I tell them the first thing to ask is "do the 16ga barrels say Krieghoff on them" IMO, if they don't the gun should be discounted lower than one of the original Parker repro combo sets. After all they are an after market set that is fit to the gun and may not fit as well as a Krieghoff set. If my memory is correct the repros were sent to Kieghoff and they are the ones that fit the 16ga barrels to the 20ga gun that was sent to them.
If you talk to Carol about their current offering for repro barrels sets. She'll tell you they are made in-house. That one makes me scratch my head, because as far as I know there hasn't been a single set made and delivered yet. So at this point no one is making them.
FYI,
I fit my CSMC barrels myself and am really happy with the fit. I've also talked the Brad Bachelder about building up material on different parts so you can then fit them correctly. Brad says he has a guy that does laser welding and can build-up things like hooks, dolls heads, etc. without any noticeable heat build-up.
