And here I thought 15k was ridiculous……that was the cost of a friends Stephen Grant he sent back to London for new barrels in the early 2000’s.😳

Was that for chopper lump or dovetail lump barrels? Do you get a choice?

I wonder what the cost comparison would be to have new barrels made on the continent….more than a few capable, best quality makers in France, Belgium, Germany and Italy to take on the job.

I’ve seen some really nice, high grade Scott Tri-plex’s that had new barrels made in Germany and Austria…high quality stuff made with Bohler-Antinit. Tough barrels to make and fit too with the odd cocking bar & rod system.
