Default Sent my barrels off to Breck today

Sent my 12ga P Grade Twist and 12ga GHE Grade Damascus barrels off to Breck today to sweeten up and do his majik on.
I'm very excited.

You'll be thrilled with them when you see them next.

He’s done three projects for me so far and I’m pleased with them all . Turn around is quick and his price is always what I think to be reasonable .

Breck's got a set of mine doing them now. They're off an I. Hollis SLNE. I drove them over to him back in April. He said it would be sometime in June when he finished them. I often wonder what they will look like. They had been blued, very well I might add, and it was hard to tell what was under there.

Breck has done a great job on every barrel I have sent him. Mostly Parker hammer guns.

I have some great Parker examples, but here's a before and after Breck did on a 15 gauge percussion sxs with 34" barrels, likely made in the late 1850s. Most of the finish was gone and I wanted the barrels to be protected. This is a great shooter, probably the best muzzeloading shotgun I have shot in fact. It's just like shooting a normal cartridge gun once it's loaded...

This gun is now a treasured possession, that I just love. It will be joining me this fall on some hunts for sure

I think you will be happy when your barrels come back.
