Loaned my Marlin 90 O/U bird gun to my BIL. Got it back with a hole blown in one barrel. I cut off 4" but now have a bird gun with cyl bore barrels. Sent the barrels out once but smith claimed it could not be done. I'd like to bring it to someone good in No. Jersey to see if there is any hope for it. Any recommendations would be most appreciated.

    Nicky, I am waiting desperately for the story behind "a hole blown in one barrel"!! Have you tried the gunsmith in Paterson?

    Regarding the hole, I wasn't there so I could only speculate on the cause and that would do no one any good.

     

    Does the GS in Paterson do this kind of work?

    I'm not certain. I know many have spoken highly of him and I think only one or two people were disappointed.

     

    Here is the pertinent information:

    Thanks for the heads up on Paterson. Went over this AM. Nice guy and very knowledgeable. He said he did that kind of work but he miced it out and the barrel diameters are not concentric enough to thread so I am left with a 24" O/U HD/skeet gun with cylinder bore barrels. He said Briley could do it because they use CNC equipment but charge $275 per barrel. It's hard to justify $550 for a $400 shotgun that I got for painting two ceilings. Such is life.

    Again, thanks for the resource.

    Well - at least you have a definitive answer. Next up in Marketplace...

    No, it's a keeper. Got to like an O/U SG for HD. Even the typical snivelling Jersey wussies who turn up on NJ grand juries (or this board for a matter of fact) don't crap their pants when they see one.
