Some time back a someone posted a name of some one on Ohio that could do repair welding of damascus barrels. I thought I had saved the thread to my computer but can't find it. Does any one know who it is?
Cheers,

Another man who is highly respected for fine welding on guns is Freddy Bruner (not sure of spelling of last name), of Escondido CA.

Classic Guns is a no go.
I am sure it was someone in Ohio that I was looking for.
Have found a Fred Brunner in Escondido and will give him a call.
Is there a site with old posts from this bbs some place?

The barrel is damages at the end looks like someone bent it and then tryed to remove the dent. As the barrels are 30" and the gun was built in 1861 it would be nice to keep them full length. As it is the last inch pressure should not be a problem. Also, it is a pinfire so will not be shot much.

Fred Brunner at least the only one I can find in Escondido is not a welder. Does any one else have any ideas.

I can't remember the man's name, either. Oscar did not do the work himself but recommended this fellow without reservation.
Hope that someone remembers who he is and posts it. He was not far from Oscar and Oscar was in Illinois.
Best,
John
