drew: sorry, don't recognize that one...
old ed did sleeve guns. doubt if he could do it anymore, being 88 an all...anyway, other guns that he has sleeved do show the seams. he could hide the seams if desired, but then that would cost more. gotta keep cost down when sleeving field guns, don cha no?
remember a parker ph he sleeved at my request years ago. Damascus barrels had been honed by some crook, so the barrel walls were bright and shiny like glass, but they were paper thin; less than what he considers as safe...anyway, he sleeved barrels, with seams showing. gun also shot both barrels to point of aim at 30 yards...fellow I sold the gun too won his state skeet shooting championship with that old sleeved parker, with the seams showing...
old ed also has the tooling and skills required to regulate barrels sleeved by others, that do not shoot to point of aim at any distance...don't know of anyone else in this country that can do that kind of work. do you?
