I'm well familiar with the reticence to buying sleeved guns. It seems like it's a rogue gene in our DNA that instantly flags a STOP sign in our brain before our eyes have even taken in the actual gun.
But in all fairness, I have to relate the following. I bought a William Powell 12 bore from Jack Dudley in the mid 90's that had knockout wood and "invisibly sleeved" barrels. A terrific gun for under 3K. And I would bet that nobody in the world could make out that it was sleeved. NOBODY. Not only could you not see "the lines" in the barrels, you couldn't even make out a division in the bluing when held up to every angle of light.
So, as much as I am included in the group who have an immediate aversion to sleeved barrels I have to go on the record as to witnessing, yes, an invisible sleeving job.
And I really wish I still had that gun.
