Amazing!!
When I first saw those barrels months ago I honestly thought there was no hope for them! What an incredible transformation! .

Wow! How did he get rid of the pitting? Barrel wall thickness still thick enough to shoot?
Looks great! |

With these and oil. Then wet and dry sandpaper and elbow grease.
I checked wall thickness along the way with a Hosford gauge. Didn’t go below 30 thousandths anywhere. Lot of work. If it weren’t a family piece, I would have been tempted to send it back |

Was this one of the sets of Parker barrels I saw in your shop the other day, Breck? If so, what an amazing transformation!
Well done. |
