My best chance for a donor set - of 26" damascus ejector barrels - will not most likely be the answer. The barrels were salvageable I believe, but guns were 40,000 (Minier) apart and lug and for-end attachment were completely different.
My Serial number is 186XXX - 1909.

So for now....It looks like the hunt continues.

I have seen where some Damascus barrels that were split ahead of the chambers were welded back together and usable. IIRC it was someone from the Fox group that had this done. Talk with Brad at the Southern you might be surprised at what can be done.
