After putting several rounds through my Holland's 1893 Royal 12 bore SLE, I noticed a ring on the right tube about 7 inches up from the breech. Pretty sure it was a wad. There are no visible marks or or cracks under magnification either inside or out just dandy a concentric bulge ring.

These damascus tubes are beautiful and I would do almost anything to save it. Teague is not an option as I tried one and the additional weight balance is evident to me.

Is there anyone in the U.S. that can sleeve, tig weld or do refurbish damascus tubes with a bulge ring. I know Kirk Merrington does a good job but he is out 12-14 months.

I would love to find someone who might bring back the Damascus to life.

Thanks in advance
