The third set of barrels for my Ideal have been fit, blued, and safely returned to me. I found this four barrel set K 80 case on ebay, and adapted it for my set of three. Still a little work to do on the fit of the stock into its place, but it works well enough for now.
Note the difference in the concave area flowing to the doll's head extension of the plume. Middle tubes are the originals.
Chokes are .000, .007; .005, .015; .024, .048
The last is of course the originals, which also retain their original 65mm chambers. I went this very expensive route primarily because the factory barrels pattern my 3/4 oz reloads so well. It also doesn't hurt to probably have the only Ideal in existence with three sets of barrels.
Here she be:
Will pattern them New Year's weekend out at the property, break some targets, and shoot a few with feathers.
