It may be possible in the future to have a new set of fluid steel barrels made, est cost at least $4000.
Sometimes a set of old barrels will fit, or can be made to fit. A good set of barrels costs anywhere from $1000 to $2000 and fitting filing and possible rebluing extra.
If a person has a ruptured set of barrels, sleeving at $2000 to $2500 is an option.
Teague liners can be installed if wall thickness is too thin. Cost is about $2500.
I would see no reason to need another set of barrels unless somehow the barrels ruptured from an obstruction or severe overpressure. I like shooting my damascus barrels and shoot them no different from fluid steel, but then I carefully look at the barrels when I am thinking about acquiring a gun.
