Buy the barrels, send the whole package to Mackinson and he'll get it all fitted up, wham....an ejector, two barrel set Ideal, rare as hens teeth. And for $250?? Where are you ever gonna find that again?


Well Dustin, rare just might depend on the company you keep: this weekend will find at least three 16 Ideals in one place, two of them No. 5's, one of them a two barrel set. I actually have two 16's with four sets of barrels, but only three fitted up so far. If James ever gets off his rear and gets hold of a 16, I may be persuaded to part with this set in the white.

BTW, thanks again for introducing me to these great guns.

For you Ideal fans, check out this "Ace of Spades" with exploded views- totally cool.
