doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Epoxy Repair Barrel Pits?

I'd suggest you start a new Thread to pose your question concerning a good finish on pitted SxS barrels refined with epoxy.

I'm sure the brain-trust of Ghostrider, DimmyW, and TransGomer Joff will offer some great thoughts that will only enhance the archive of accumulated knowledge here.

Afterwards, there may not be any solutions, but we could give participation awards to all who contributed.

I can't read the post above me because I have them on IGNORE. From what I am reading, the blast from a shotgun blast can reach a temperature of 1000 degrees. For me it would be easier to just line the barrels. Or maybe get inserts. But the gun would have to be awfully special for me to even fool with it.

DimmyW, if you really had me on IGNORE, you wouldn't even know I had made a Post. There would be nothing to see, and no notification that someone you were IGNORING had submitted a Post.

It works the same way for Ted and everyone else you are pretending to IGNORE. This is worse than TransGomer Joff proclaiming he cannot possibly be triggered. Actually, he is like a set trigger set so light, a mosquito fart could release it.

So let me offer a suggestion that will help you get your AutoZone Exhaust and Muffler Epoxy inside a shotgun barrel:

First, you must remove it from the packaging. That will help a lot. Then you will have to open the tubes and mix it at the correct ratio of resin to hardener. Then you can use a cleaning rod and a swab or patch to apply the mixed epoxy in your bores.

You should probably do this as a preventive measure, even if you don't have any pits in your barrels. If you use a heavy enough coat, or multiple coats, you may be able to increase the value of your guns by turning 12 ga. guns into 16, 20, or even 28 gauge guns. Be careful, this isn't that paste you ate all through school. Do not eat it!

I certainly do not wish to discourage this sort of experimentation, because others have said I shouldn't... no matter how utterly stupid or dangerous it might be.


Please let me know how this works out the next time you pretend you are IGNORING me. Good luck.

No reason to read it, it's just the board cancer trolling.

More trolling from the board cancer.

I have personally honed over 75 Shotgun barrels both Damascus and fluid steel. Some had pits as deep as 11 thousandths which were removed. Will they sometimes be considered out of proof? Sure, but they can still be saved and made usable. I start with 80 grit and end with 1000 grit. Wall thickness gauges are a must. You would be amazed at how many barrels can be honed and still be put back into service safely. But you have to know what you are doing. Most of the shooting value in a Shotgun is in the integrity of the barrels. Epoxy I do not believe is a viable solution.

Keith leave me out of your personal attacks, it took you over a week to get the balls up to try to fire back with your childish comments. You are just a miserable prick that try’s to throw a turd in the punch bowl on every post.
Be quiet little one, this is a site for adults.
By the way you never had the guts to PM me.
I bet you are a little troll living in your mother’s basement, next door to your best friend the Nazi.
We all know your kind, playing a badass behind the keyboard.
It’s clear you don’t have a life, your continual immature attacks are getting old. You try to bully your way on this sight.
Patting yourself on the back with your bullshit yet never posting any pictures of your fantasy guns.
Go away you little boy.
It’s time people that are fed up with your hate and nastiness voice their thoughts of your immature tirades. Many are afraid to be put on your personal attack list. This is why many don't stand up to you. The slithering skill you have honed to put down others, is a weak attempt to make you feel better about yourself.
You are like the little worm that would sit in the back of the classroom in grade school, creating a disturbance to try and get attention.
Most of the members on this forum have figured you out, you try to act like a tough guy but would put you tail between your legs and run if you ever had the misfortune of meeting any of the fine people you stalk, on the street.
Why you have been allowed to stink up this fine site with your festering and putrid infection baffles most of us.
Now go back down into your mother’s basement and try to pretend to be someone.

I will be out hunting turkeys in New Mexico for the next week.
So take your time to respond Keith, or who ever you are this week as I will actually be out using a couple of my fine guns while you hide behind your keyboard fantasizing and trying to make me your next victim. 😝.

For cryin' out loud Ghostrider, you left out the best part. According to the emails I get, kieth is too stupid to figure out how the IGNORE system works. Just like I said before, he's just an anti-gun troll acting like a big time gun owner. Put him on IGNORE like I do and forget it.

Nailed it.

He's nothing but a troll, and why his behavior is allowed is baffling.

I think those of us that are sick of his crap should blow up any topic where he's allowed to behave like that.
