I second Bill's request. Any photos of the barrels as before and then after? I have an 1893 undergoing a refurbish at this time.

Those barrels refinished by Breck will definitely be worth the wait. (a satisfied customer.)

Some may recall the barrel situation on my VHE 16 with 32" barrels..Breck refinished them flawlessly..and they were damaged by FEDEX in return..AND..FEDEX refused to pay..even though they were in a PVC tube. Breck fixed the dent ..perfectly..If you want the best..call Breck...jv..

Per request
Per request I had the before and Breck was nice enough to send me the during last night after seeing request. Thinking of having the rest re-cut. Found Roland Robidoux here in FL mentioned in a much older post. Will talk to him tomorrow. Thanks for the encouragement.

I believe in your previous thread on this gun you had alluded to the barrels having been ‘restored’ previously?
I guess you know by now that guy was an unmitigated rube. .

 . The guy was local and didn't charge me much. He also sells used guns, so I'll show it to him when finished and see if I can get a discount on something. Although you were brutally honest in that original post, (I'm trying to be tactful) I really do appreciate your inspiring me to get it done right. Lesson learned.  Breck says and I quote "Luckily there is plenty of wall thickness and I was able to polish out the pits. It was a lot of work. It will be well within the parameters that most experts deem “safe to shoot” with appropriate loads. " What do you think about re-cutting? |

You could ask Geoffroy Gournet to give you an estimate to recut the engraving and you’ll be able to decide for yourself. Then you could have Brian give you an estimate on restoring the stock finish and checkering. It’s your call but remember, you’ll never recoup your investments.
