Ref. my previous thread Burst Barrel ...and the said gun, and Greg Tag's reply..

Quote:
....The blown barrel can be replaced by sleeving. Whether or not the gun is worth the cost, I have no idea. To have one barrel sleeved in this country, with relaying the ribs and re-blacking would likely run in the 1000-1500 range, or possibly more. I assume that you have talented English trained gunsmiths available to you, and perhaps it can be done more cheaply where you live. ....


..I have been offered the following repair at quite cheap price,

Ribs will be removed.
Damaged barrel (left) will be cut just at start of rupture.
A piece of barrel from some wasted gun with matching inner dia and suitable length will be welded with sawn off barrel.
Ribs will be soldered.
Barrels will be reblued.

What do you guys say..

I have yet to get the cost of sleeving from another gunsmith.

Could someone elaborate the procedure of sleeving as it is done in good old England.

Thanks
