But sometimes this is entirely impossible, much like finding a needle in a haystack, and you could spend years - even decades - in trying to find, for instance, a set of 32" DD Damascus barrels for a 1-frame 12 gauge lifter...... .

I would not think that the english can make a set of DD barrels either. So, i assume based on the question that we are talking fluid steel.

Mr. Delk:
Personally, I would recommend that you and/or your friend contact Kirk Merrington. He IS a bit of the UK right her in the US. Texas to be precise. And... he can assess the ruined barrels and provide ANY solution that's needed. Including completely new barrels: http://www.merringtongun.com |

Bill Blacker is a big name in UK barrelmaking. Ex Purdey, I believe. He has a website. John Foster is a UK sleever and gunsmith and I think he attends the Southern.
