So just how do they sleeve barrels? I always thought it just a barrel insert.

Should these barrels be brown or black?

The ONLY thing that "proof" mark means is that the gun didn't blow up with that particular charge. Proofing such as this is totally worthless--even dangerous! To even insinuate that this gun has gone through proof as it is commonly understood is nearly criminal!

You should have a competent gunsmith closely examine this gun before firing a single shot.

Who is best in the U.S. doing this work?

Has anyone had this done recently and what was the outcome?

I have a Parker 16ga on an O frame that I would like to sleeve to 28ga.

thank you
Patrick

Patrick,
I did a 20g to 28g sleeve conversion on a LC Smith. Kirk Merrington mentored me. I believe he's your man. I think he's done more than one of these. He's in Texas.

I think you'll find that you'll need a bit of space between the muzzles when regulating. This is because of the wider spacing of larger gauges at the breach.

Patrick - Would Teague liners be a better way to go for you?
