I spoke to him last week to see how he was doing and just to check on my DH barrels. Sometime mid-year last year I sent him a set of barrels and at that time he said one person had sent him fourteen sets about the same time. Probably not one person's but work being farmed out to him in my opinion.

So one can see that it there is no way one man can keep up with the workload.

Dale did a set of barrels for me on a 16 ga German Sauer & Sohn: They turned out beautifully. He is/was a real master of his craft.

Iam sorry to hear that Mr. Edmunds has decided to retire. For years he has provided a vital service to the Restoration community. I fully understand the difficulties of the process as well as the dedication needed to deliver consistant results. I wish him well. I for one can say that his beautifull craftsmanship will be missed.

Years ago he did some Parker barrels for me - came out very nice. Then I found out about Brad Bachelder who also does very nice work. Brad was only about two hours drive away, so I had him do all my other barrels seeing how I don't trust shipping them. You have real problems with a gun and not the right barrels. And I get to see some real nice SxS's for sale and the beautiful Damascus barrels he's redone.
