It's a sign that we are in the 21st Century, computers, plastics, organics. Now we are 'Gluing' barrels together. God they will be loading nitro. next.

There is an informative article on sleeving by SDH in the March/April issue of Shooting Sportsman. He provides an interesting overview of how Hugh Lomas sleeves barrels.
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Aren't "monobloc" barrels in essence sleeved? Yes.

Aren't "monobloc" barrels in essence sleeved? Yes. Quite True, but the reverse is not. That is sleeved bbls were not "Mono-Blocked" unless the old bbls were in fact removed from a mono-block, most aren't. Cutting off a set of chopper or dovetail lump bbls does not produce a mono-block, though the method of installing the bbls are essentially the same in both cases.

Thank you - very helpful.
When sleeved barrels fail, do they fail at the join?
Naively, it would seem that the join on a monobloc should be about the same as a join on a set of chopper lump barrels?
Interesting post

Gnoman: I have yet to hear of ANY set of properly sleeved barrels failing at the "join" or anywhere else. This from simple use... NOT bore obstructions, hacksaws, etc.
All this is akin to how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

I recall a Beretta or Browning O/U that one or both of the tubes was working out of the monoblock.

I'm with you. I will admit to being new to double guns but this ain't rocket science.I'd rather have a double gun that will give me service.I purchased a Purdey recently for less than what it cost to sleeve because everyone turned up ther nose to it because it was sleeved I'm happy as hell. I have not tried to see what Purdey would charge for a new barrel but I would assume 5000 sterling wouldn't cover the rib. Monty
