Galazan .410 bbls for 28 ga Reproductions - Page 2

Has anyone received a set of these .410 barrels yet?
Website says they'll be available Sept. 1st.
As is everyone, I'm curious as to how they fit the 28 gauge Repro.

Like several others here, I too am very much interested in these .410 barrels, but have reservations about the fit and weight. Last nite I happened to take a careful look at the CSMC ad on the back cover of the current issue of Parker Pages and it states "These barrels are being built to order, if you do not order now you will not be able to get a pair. These are available for a VERY limited time."

So, if Tony gets "x" number of orders for a set of these barrels will he produce just this number of barrel sets or will he produce these plus several more sets for the procrastinators?

If they used the 16ga barrels they sold me as a demonstration model they would never sell one set. Maybe they are waiting to see if they can get enough orders before they set everything up to make them. If the fixed costs are high enough you'd think they'd go ahead and make a few extra while they have everything set up.

I'd have to agree with you on this Dave.
They shot well, but the fitting job was terrible.

I've got 3 sets on order, but none have been produced to my knowledge! I'm thinking Summer 2010!

Bill is correct--none have been produced yet.

Their ad for these replacement barrels states "These barrels are being built to order, if you do not order now you will not be able to get a pair. These are available for a VERY limited time." So not wanting to miss out on the opportunity to buy a pair or two, I called CSMC a few days ago to inquire about them. They told me that they were not yet built and that they were taking orders, I explained that I was looking to purchase a set, but had some reservations as to the fitting of my existing 28-ga. splinter forend wood
around the barrels, the doll's head fit and how much additional weight these .410 barrels would add. Their representative told me that if I was expecting a perfect fit that these barrels probably wouldn't be for me.
