#3 frame DH, needs barrels

[Andrew Thompson]

where'd u pick it up?

[Don Kaas]

Contact John Foster in the UK and go to the best sleevers in the business. "$500 to perfectly regulate..." Giggle, laugh... Foster has done 5 sets of barrels for me over the years-all superbly. However the decline of the $ and the new regualtions that brevent mailing back the gun have made this opertion much more expense. You' still need to find a Parker top rib to get the right job and they may not have sleeving tubes of sufficient girth for such a large set of barrels . This would likely not be cost effective for a project gun.Unless someone like Merrington can repair the barrels, (waiting and) finding a donor set of Parker barrels and having them fitted here is the way I would go (and have gone).

Thanks Don,
I think this is where I'm headed with this gun. Waiting on the UPS man now and will then be sending the original barrels off for inspection to estimate repairs.

Jent,

How many guns have you sent to Toby at that kind of price?

No kidding...Hell, I have no idea how to repair one but when we're talking about $4-5k for repairs to a set of barrels....I am open to learn anything.

Nice!

Nice job. Here's a result from an NC morning. Note the jewels on the greenwing.

Have your gunsmith make a set of split steel steel blocks that fit the barrel od, like a clamp, place the clamps on the barrel and useing a press on the blocks to push the dent back in ,Any heating on those soft solder barrels is asking for a big bill to resolder ribs back together, I have done several barrels this way , you can contact me at jlyons1@comcast.net
