Anyone know of someone who is making barrels or doing Monoblock work still on SxS Shotguns?

I know CSM has them, but they're pretty pricey at about $400 a tube.
I heard the Italians are a popular source. I dunno the mfr. Maybe Hugh Lomas will be along to add to this.

Mr. Dudley:
While you don't disclose the specific gun in question, the unquestionably BEST SxS barrelmaker in the US is Kirk Merrington, Kerrville, TX. However, Kirk is presently recovering from a serious illness.
So... if your not in a hurry, it may be best to contact Kirk. Or... he may be able to direct you to the Second Best man in the US.

12g. I am wanting to try to have an extra set of barrels made that are rifled for sabot slugs. I am just lookin for someone who says they are willing to take on the project. I can't think of why it wouldn't be able to be done.

I think I ran across an American barrel maker (ER Shaw? maybe.) that listed rifled 12ga tubes.
Regulating would be a critical piece of the project. Not that it would be all that technically difficult. Just hat it would need considerable time investment. You'd need to settle on the load and distance beforehand. It most certainly can be done and has been done. Nothing new under the sun for this project. Just a matter of investing the time and money.
