MartynGT4 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Just seen the before and after shots on facebook. No wonder you're happy Ray, those barrels look awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 The original barrels looked almost too far gone, to ever be returned to "as new". Just shows what real craftsmanship is all about.Utter quality. :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impala59 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Methinks my Ithaca 37 receiver and barrel will be making a trip to Ashford in the new year! Looks like fine work, proper word of mouth recommendation and we should all support these craftsmen and trades trades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I will admit to being stunned with the low cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIVERD Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 top work and very fair price - impressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougall Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 I shall let you all know an honest opinion of the work once I have my barrels returned.which by the way includes carpet wrapping and parcel force courier which is included in the price quoted above! The low price was the only thing that almost put me off!!..... but if you consider the following; 1.It is done in a dedicated barn on the family farm(so no big overhead) 2.They have 25-30 sets of barrels at anyone time 3.They do the work for what I would say are the best most established gun shops around here..who send their best customers best guns here 4.It is a father & son operation who have done it for 40 years Then it kind of makes sense........... anyway BB if you read this (why you should be working on my barrels!!!) ....no pressure!......

AlistairB Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 HI BB, just out of interest, how much would the job you did on the 28b barrels (on your facebook page) cost roughly - i might have a cunning plan! Thanks AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougall Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 just opened the package of the return of 2 sets of barrels,1 a compete re-black,1 a messed up dented top rib/metal missing...........well the jobs are both quite outstanding,done within 10 days at this time of year,a pair of 1908 barrels looking like new and a brilliant tidy up on a modern browning. A top man to deal with and a fantastic job....If I was'nt such a luddite i would post pictures etc..but I am a tech dinosaur.......but I have had lots of work done over the last 30 years of messing with guns and this work is as good as any and to be frank at 1980s prices!!........a massive tahnk you to Ray for the heads up and to Dan for his service and work....I am stunned. Happy Xmas to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
