I have been thinking about this a lot in the past week, so I decided to ask the question. I have REALLY thought about it in the past 24 hours. The more I think about it the more I feel like Ted. People talk about a few shots hunting, but I imagine in the not too distant future even shooting skeet at your house will require no-tox shot.
I thought the idea of Sherman Bell testing old stubes with steel was great! Does anyone know Sherman Maybe you could put a bug in his ear.
BUT, If we could get some hard tubes for sleeving that may solve the problem. Anyone know what range of steel is typically used old English and Continental doubles? What are the new tubes for sleeving made of? Can an older double with sufficient wall thickness be backbored and then have the bores chrome plated?
