Chuck --
Well, I contacted Eyster Heritage Gunsmiths, this morning.
Very interesting discussion ..... Very
Ken is no longer actively engaged with the business. So, I spoke with Tim, Ken's son, concerning my B. Rizzini O/U patterning (point of impact) problem. It appears that my particular problem is not an isolated one. Apparently, there are a large number of B. Rizzini, O/U, owners which are "beating a path" to the Eysters' door for help -- all with similar problems. There would seem to be -- or, at least, has been -- a systematic production problem at B. Rizzini. Interesting .... if it was not for my bad luck, I would not have any luck at all.
It turns out that Ken's son, Jim, is the individual in thier gunsmithing group who, now, handles the "barrel work". Jim is presently away at the Olympic trials with his own son, who ostensibly has a "shot" at making the team. I will call Jim next week to discuss what may be done to correct my problem. But, Tim commented that the 16 inch divergence ( at 40 yds.) for the points of impact for the two barrels on my gun was very large and their standard approach, to correct such problems, may not work. I will know more when I speak with Jim on Monday or Tuesday. But, they are presently "swamped" with work. Tim sounded harried.
For the recond, Chuck, here is the contact information for the Eysters. Their phone number has recently changed.
