lengthening the chambers of our vintage doubles could actually increase the barrel wall thickness?

Am I misunderstanding something here? Isn't barrel wall thickness simply stated "the barrel thickness" or "the measure from the inside wall of the tube to the outside wall of the tube? How can steel be added to a barrel? Isn't it kind of like a hair cut? You can cut hair away but the barber can't put it back on once its cut away?

gee keith, your eloquence and direct path to common sense restores my confidence that some members of this fine forum still wish to engage in positive dialog...

regarding this fine and rare 20 gauge lc smith, grade 2 ejector gun, with straight grip...

it was consigned to me for sale by an avid woodcock hunter, who fortunately lives in an area where he and his doggies can hunt woodcock most of the year...course, he only shoots when legal to do so....he had this lovey little smith refurbished by a highly respected gunsmith located in his region of the country...

he is now shooting an a grade fox of similar configuration...it too, has had its chambers lengthened...

we must remember, that there are some small minds here, who are also of a jealous nature...

fire, one would think so...

Mark, if you or the Nutty Professor actually had any interest whatsoever in buying this gun, I wouldn't say a damn thing about your questions. But it has become apparent that some here are merely Trolling and doing all they can to disrupt pretty much all of Ed's gun sales here... and also subsequently prevent Dave Weber from getting his $12.00 fee for a sale.

We just very recently went though this same disingenuous horse shit where the Nutty Professor essentially admitted he would never buy a gun from Ed. And Ed explained why he would never answer questions from an obvious Troll who was lying about being interested. Here Mark, go back and read it again:

Now then Mark, will we be seeing you confront the Nutty Professor about pretending to be an interested buyer, and then stupidly letting the truth out only a couple days later?

The Free Advertising Gunsmith, who is now also advertising African Hunts in his/her tagline, also sometimes sells some rather expensive guns here that have also obviously been refinished. But strangely, we don't see the same Trolls repeatedly attempting to disrupt his/her sales. Nor questioning him/her about pitted chambers, wall thickness, honing, or a lack of integrity. (That's barrel integrity... not the lack of integrity involved in advertising in ones' tagline and not paying Dave $12.00 for each of the resulting sales... and even bragging about screwing him)

If Ed did those exact same things... or jOe... or someone else you all didn't like, then you all would be howling and crying about them breaking the rules. It's insulting that any of the Trolls think we can't see the hypocrisy. So please stop trying to bullshit me.


Yes FireFly, you are correct. But a few years ago, the Preacher actually argued with me and Miller, a sadly deceased member who was also a Machinist, that lengthening the chambers of our vintage doubles could actually INCREASE the wall thickness at the end of the recut chambers. The argument went on for several days, and Miller, the machinist, even posted mechanical drawings to illustrate why that was impossible. It took a while, but I think logic and reason finally prevailed. It did serve to show that you should not just blindly accept everything you read on the internet, even if the person posting it acts like an expert.

I have asked those questions of gun sellers .I was responding to you , asking reasonable questions on an open forum....

Keith. The person you are referring to has a no bullshit return poilcy

You never even call me by my name......

Nothing strange about it billie. I have run my business with integrity for two decades.

If you require information about a gun I have for sale, all you need to do is ask. I have a 5 day(more if you need it) shooting encouraged return policy.

No double speak on the guns I sell, just honest descriptions and fair prices.

Glad to see you noticed the quality of my inventory. I have an incredible shipment on the way from New Zealand, almost all spoken for already.

By the way, I have been meaning to thank you for your input regarding the work I do. I stopped taking in repair years ago and pretty much do only custom work and restorations these days after you pointed out how much repair use to come through my shop. Great advise and I appreciate your heart felt input.

All my best.

Steve

Keith, when I referred to integrity, anyone that would want this gun as a collector gun would not want the chambers lengthened. I know I wouldn't at that price. As an original 2E with the last style of engraving and straight stock it would bring close to that at auction, but in my opinion not with the chambers lengthened and refinished.

gee Dave, guess you dent git hit the first time...

if you ain't got nuttin positive to say here...

den shut the fuc* up...

please...

You are getting nasty now! Obviously something to hide in that overpriced Bubba Special. Gee Ed, tell us how you measured those barrel walls to be sure they met your 90/30 rule.

But you can't, because you didn't. But you will be back to jump on someone else's gun listing.

I find it strange you think you are so special that your own rules don't apply to you.

What goes around, comes around, so enjoy.
