I have a H&H 16 bore paradox for "Ball and Shot" with the rifling removed sometime ago. I want a new pair of barrels made and need to know the rifling depth and twist rate. Any information appreciated. Thanking you in advance.

Informed by Lothar-Walther that they do not manufacture shotgun barrels.

Before you have a new set of barrels made, consider having a set of rifled chokes installed. It may be a tall order in 16ga, but 12ga would be easy from Briley.

There's a short write up by Ross Seyfried from the 21st. of this month on the Explora. It's about a restoration that Westley Richards did on a 16 bore H&H Paradox gun. He describes the bore as in nice original condition and apparently it shoots well. They may have a good idea of how the bore measured up. Best of luck with it.

Sorry about that sharps. It's online in WR's blog, theexplora.com.

Apparently Ross Paradox had the rifling intact. Now on to Briley to see if they can help.

Well, no luck with Briley. The search goes on.

I know an outfit that makes rifled choke tubes in 12 and 20 ga. They only have buttons in those gauges. I buy the rifled blanks and have them turned and threaded to fit my shotguns. The rifled blanks are $20 each and it costs me $75 each to have them threaded. They make a pretty good paradox gun with Brenneke conventional slugs.
If someone can identify a source of a 16ga rifling button, this shop could turn up a bunch of blanks, then rifle them by pushing the button through the blank.
