Default Hammer Gun, VH 20 Barrels

In a recent thread, a poster mentioned having a hammer gun rebarreled with 20 gauge VH barrels. Can someone help me locate that post?

Dave Fjelline has done this for a few folks.

My post was misunderstood, the orphan barrels were from a 20 ga hammer gun and were indeed fitted by Dave Fjelline. Very little fitting needed, they almost snapped right on.

I am interested in fitting hammerless barrels to a hammer gun. I have seen it done, but it has been a while.

I heard Dave wasn't taking on new work, hope I'm wrong.

I spoke with Dave in mid June about this very rumor. He told me there is NO truth to it. He’s still running the farm full time and still taking gun work full time too.
His turn around time is the very shortest I have ever experienced.

So glad to hear Dave is doing well! I missed his company at the Southern.
