I was bidding on that gun. Was told it was very shootable but a bit of work might make it better. Don't know if I'd buy a sleeved gun to have it sleeved again. Were the barrels welded or soldered? It might make a difference. Had one Smith over there refuse to sleeve a gun which had been sleeved before. Don't know if it was entirely because of the sleeve job, it was a bit of a mess, or if it was a single bite and he thought it would not pass current proof. Anyways I wish your friend good luck with his new gun. Be interesting to see how it turns out.
