That is an interesting piece. Sending something overseas to have barrel work done would have been a nice expense. Someone really knew what they wanted.

I find it pretty interesting how WR is willing to work on doubles made by different brands. I remember a few years ago they would make complete new barrels for 10k, they said if its a sxs doesnt matter how old it is they can make anything it needs to keep it shooting.

Some might find it odd putting British barrels on a American double but arent the majority of our damascus guns sporting Belgium made barrels ?

I recently heard a British museum curator put it best "Dynamic history is more interesting than static history"
