RE Carrier barrels. I have a set for K-80. The carrier barrels are usually made by those who make the tubes, i.e., Kolar or Briley (that is, they take a set of original barrels and bore them out). They situate a small pin such that the chamber cannot accept a 12 ga shell.

Our credibility is established by who we are, which Keith cowardly refuses to reveal, and by what we�ve accomplished. These establish mine:

Keith, you were successful in getting to me with your criticism of our ministry. It is not what I do but what I am. That you should presume to understand anything about the physical or spiritual risks thereof is a stunning illustration of your blind hatred and narcissism.
1. In 1999 on my first trip to Honduras, the local missionary almost died from an anaphylactic reaction to the iv antibiotic I was injecting.
2. In 2000 one of my best friends could have died from an acute abdomen, when we were 5 hours from Tegucigalpa, but I believe he was miraculously healed.
3. In 2001 we were divinely protected when 2 guys with AK47s came to town to rob us.
4. In 2010 we were stranded in Guatemala by Tropical Storm Agatha and the eruption of Mt. Pacaya

5. We�ve had lots of �close calls� traveling on bad roads.
6. And lots of up-close and personal Satanic encounters.
7. And lots of medical problems related to the trips. Mine don�t matter. After one trip, a team member converted her PPD (confirming exposure to TB) and had to take a year of INH.
But we�re still going (28 trips to date, some short, some longer) and know that God is good and I believe has been glorified by our faithfulness.

So Keith, you may carry on to your black heart�s content. Most hateful people, like Frank (who has been proven to be a liar), hate themselves, but some are just filled with hatred. I�ve never had you on �Ignore� and never complained to Dave, and I will continue to contribute to threads as I am able. I might however take a break when I can�t take the stench coming out of the computer monitor anymore.

You are not going to win this one, because I will no longer play. Unilateral detente is back on, and I will outlast you.

Drew, there is obviously something wrong with you. You continue to call jOe a liar because he posted some information that was 100% correct when you yourself gave it to him, but the true and accurate facts later changed when you were gifted one ratty OE grade L.C. Smith with thin and pitted Damascus barrels. So now you have the pathetic need to try to tar him as a liar for all eternity. That's some real nice forgiving Christian behavior there Pastor! On the other hand, I provided links that showed you had indeed been caught in multiple lies, which you still refuse to acknowledge. That is what is so amusing about all of this to me. Almost as amusing as links to your copy-and-paste research, which seemed somewhat impressive until jOe revealed that you had very little practical Damascus experience.

You act like a cat trying to cover up turds on a marble floor. And your tales of woe and danger encountered in your mission trips are just more of that pathetic behavior. I don't give a fat rats ass about your cases of diarrhea or traveling on bad roads. We all see more than enough photos of Central Americans on TV as they try to illegally enter our country, and don't need to see them here too. I actually do believe that someone as intentionally deceptive as you might have a number of personal Satanic encounters though... like maybe a pat on the back for a job well done.

However, none of it has anything to do with the topic of this thread or double shotguns. None of those grave dangers you listed by number are very impressive to me. Did I ever tell you about the time my co-workers and I were robbed at gunpoint while managing a restaurant when I was in college? Did I ever tell you about co-workers who actually got killed and maimed in industrial accidents? Answer: No, because I don't have your sick and sad need for validation. We all experience sickness, tragedy, danger, and death. A trip of less than 5 days including travel time to Central America is still little more than a long weekend. You were the one who attempted to portray it as something else entirely in order to justify a personal attack with "eternal significance" on me, Jim, and Dave K. That was simply more intentional deception, in my opinion. Take it somewhere else and tell someone who cares.

I never once said you had me on IGNORE. I don't know where that comes from. I made the mistake once of saying I thought Bob Cash had me on IGNORE. I apologized when he informed me that I was mistaken, but that sick little turd seized upon my mistake and ever since then he calls me lying keith because that error is all he has to attack my veracity.

It is also amusing and revealing that you consider any accurate observations about you to be the result of a black heart and a hate filled soul. But you totally ignore your own personal attacks and false assertions. And you have the nerve to call me a narcissist? I'm not trying to win anything here. I'm just countering your horseshit and hypocrisy... once again... in spite of concerted and organized attempts to censor me.

That's sums it up in few words...

I don't know any of you guys or how this shit started, but, good grief,let it go. Just stick to the subject. If i want to hear this kind of crap I'll watch cnn or msnbc

I would be interested in hearing what David thinks what happened. I would think a stuck wad obstruction from the RST shells.

I will venture a guess "IF" we do get confirmation as to the cause since it blew within 2 inches of the muzzle it will be some form of obstruction.

I'm a risk-taker, Miller. I'd say it's a certainty.

Getting back to the topic of the blown Purdey barrel, David Trevallion said today (01 Mar 2019) that he has had the rib put back in place and will take two inches off the barrel, turning it into a 28" gun. He had restocked it....really had rescued this 1877 gun from a spare parts bin....replacing both hammers with old Purdey hammers he had around. He also said he and his partners had concluded that the blow-out was cause by a barrel blockage. The gun was being shot with low pressure RST shells, with a single plastic cap, unlikely to have become stuck...so he believes the blow-out was caused by snow in the barrel...there was a heavy snow on the ground at the time.

David said he has about 10 barrels in his house which have been blown, everything from the Purdey to Parkers. I told him how valuable a research tool those would be if they were photographed and analyzed. He may write an article (but I got the impression it would not be soon).

Poor lil frAnkie appears to be butt hurt this morning. Upset because Dr. Dew caught you in in a lie? again.
