Old Boggy Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I too have used Dan Bromley (Barrelblacker) and cannot speak highly enough of his excellent work, and a true gentleman to deal with. No-one using Dan will be disappointed. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I had a set of barrels done and I can not recommend the service I received highly enough. If I need anything doing again that will be going his way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I see Dan's work on Facebook and on here. I can but admire his skill - his work is top drawer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartyboy Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I've heard nothing but good about his work and intend to use him soon. Does anyone know if he does gunsmithing too i.e. would he strip and overhaul an old gun sent to him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konor Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 +1 for Dan Bromley I've had three sets of barrels done ,all perfect ,If I had known I would get such a good job for such a reasonable price I would have had them reblued years back.

Moblies Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 How are you guys sending the barrels, Packaging etc. I've got a resto project that needs the barrels doing but 100 years old was a bit worried about getting lost or damaged in transit. It's not a purdey but would be a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
