Gents..

I have an extra set of barrels for my .475 double. They are in .280 Flanged NE. This is a pretty oddball round and not so easy to load for....too easy to get high pressures....and the rifle is then really much to heavy for calibre..

So I contemplate cutting those barrels and sleeve in a new set of barrels in either .375 Flanged or 9,3x74R and subsequently scope the new set with controlled claw mounts..

Have any of you done similar jobs..?
 
Nigel Teague in the UK has done this to shotguns. Mainly old Damascus barrels as far as I am aware.
Rifles ? Dunno,but the web should find him.

Plenty of proper gunsmiths in the UK sleeve new barrels on shotguns. Not sure if it will be quite so straightforward with a double rifle though. Westley Richards would do a good job if your pockets are deep!
 
Pondoro, a thought.. What about a pair of 20 bore shotgun barrels sleeved on, that shouldn't be too much of a challenge for a decent 'smith and surely a hell of a lot cheaper ( I appreciate it might be another too heavy for calibre thing though).. Spot of guinea fowl shooting on the way back to the lodge after bagging a buff!
 
Pondoro,you should talk to Ola Nyhuss. If you don't already know of his work,you should. He has turned out some lovely stuff.

Sika...I have spoken to Hans Englund in Klippan and one capable norwegian gunsmith...I have met Ola Nyhus....he is also capable to do it..

We will see....costly business this..
 
There are no pockets in shrouds. glaedelig Jul.
 
Happy Christmas to you as well..:)
