http://www.hellis.com/history.htmlThere's some interesting information here from paragraph 21 onwards It's all worth a look really. Reading this thread reminded me of this particular site. P.S. I'm a fan of properly done sleeving.
Rust never sleeps !

Ed you must probably be right there..I'm sure old Ed is the finest Gunsmith to stand at a workbench since Joe Manton..:) I doubt that Parker Bros would recognise that one either franc

franc: old ed does good work at a fair price...have known others like him. they are all gone now...it will be a sad day when the rest of his kind passes...as you claim to be from nh, it surprises me that you apparently have no knowledge of him or his work.

"Balance" of the gun is never "ruined" by sleeving. Changed, Yes. Ruined, no. Sleeving is likely to give the gun thicker barrel walls than when new, but not necessarily. If you pay to have the sleeves bored and struck to "OE" thickness, then the gun will handle as when new.
Sleeved guns generally gain weight, have more forward balance, and higher swing efforts. For game guns in the hands of modern shooters, these four characteristics are moved in the direction of better shooting.
Keep in mind that there is no such thing as "magic balance" that makes a gun good for all shooters. Like stock dimensions, differing shooters are better serves with differing handling characteristics. Sleeving gives you a chance to make a major change in a gun's handling while restoring safe shooting.

rocketman: good post... same thing can be accomplished with briley insert tubes. I like 26" 20 ga tubes in 30" 12 gauge guns. adding weight to the barrels changes the balance of the gun and seems to improve swing for me. in a 12 gauge gun, I shoot 7/8 loads most of the time. same as the standard 20 gauge load. guns so equipped pattern wonderfully. ever heard of the routledge bored .22? same idea cept in a 12 gauge shotgun.

enough of this thread trashing and vindictive personal attacks! posts like dave k's above should not be permitted on this main forum or elsewhere on this fine web site.
as for the quality of firearms I sell, if anyone here really cares, please go to gunsamerica.com for a review of the items currently listed by seller ed good. you be the judge and not this mean spirited malcontent.

ed good, there are quite a few people that can regulate sxs in this country.and do a quality job of sleeving i don't think it would have taken much to fit the rib properly on that Parker.it lives on as a poor job done quickly for a price.

You sell trashed torched POS guns to unsuspecting buyers Ed. Look at this Parker, Torched POS Ed is selling (by Landers)-note how Ed leaves the action open just a bit to make the lever look to the right.
