seeker Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I believe Entwhistles of 'oop North' were advertising sleeving for just under £ 400 ... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Entwistle's will farm this out, but they are very good people to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeker Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Aah maybe not them then ?? .. ads were in Gunmart last year. There was a post that said Tubing was somewhere close to £1200 - does that sound right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) http://www.teagueprecisionchokesltd.co.uk/prices.html quotes £325 + vat for chambers on a double barrel, sleeving the whole barrel will be more. Article here suggest Entwhistles do it in house and charge £450 http://www.theshiresmagazine.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=373&Itemid=394 Edited February 4, 2011 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrel browner Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 £11-£1200 is the right sort of price remember you get what you pay for a gun can be ruined by a cheap sleeving job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage 100 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I read with interest the comments above and feel it is imperative to endorse the comments from one subscriber. Sleeving of gun barrels is a time consuming skill learned over many years. Inexpensive sleeving is a total minefield. Our partnership has recently spent in excess of 14 hours correcting a sub-standard, inexpensive sleeving job. The client was lured to have a pleasant English box lock sleeved and oh what a shame. Whilst the gun now is totally safe, proofed and serviceable, the quality of the job remains less than perfect. The companies offering quality workmanship will be quoting iro £1,000 to £1,300 and possibly more if the existing ribs cannot be re-used. Be assured that during 40 years at the bench I too have been tempted periodically to try less expensive routes for this highly technical task and without exception have always been punished for the allure of a smaller bill. The age old adage of you pays your money you take your choice is never more true than when we are talking of sleeving. In short, there is not a cheap route.

Gordon R Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 This does not appear to be the same company as Entwistle's gun shop in Preston. I have had dealings with them - good people. This appears to be a totally separate company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea just found the link, I agree if you have a gin worth sleeving get it done properly as it could ruin the gun and the value if not done properly.
