Fitting barrels to action

[George M. Purtill Member #28]

I just had Brad Bachelder fit two extra sets of VR barrels I had to a VR Trap gun.
It came out nice and the cost was well worth it.
I now have 3 sets of VR barrels on one gun: 26 inch skeet in/out, 30 inch FF and 32 inch ??.
I am a happy guy.
Note- all barrels were Remington vintage and the two extra sets were badly in need of refinishing. They have not been refinished yet- I want to shoot the new sets awhile before I go whole hog.
Like Dean says- money will do wonders.

Robin,
You mentioned in this thread concerning gunsmiths and who we recommend. I've lived in Arizona for many years and currently can't recommend a single gunsmith in the state, I currently have 3 s x s at three different gunsmiths in three different states for various types of work. One of which is a new young gunsmith here in AZ, he is doing some work on a 16 gauge Fox Sterlingworth as a test. Hoping to finally have someone within driving distance for high quality s x s projects.

Good choice not giving the "new young gunsmith" a Parker to test his skills on...
