Sleeving tubes are imported into the States, usually from Italy but not always. No US barrel maker supplies tubes for sleeving nor offers chopper lump barrels. There is no active double gun trade State side with the possible exception of CSMC and they are a very low volume manufacturer.

i like to "keep things in the family," as in folks on this board. people like dennis potter, steve bertram, the aforementioned hugh lomas are the first three that come to mind. i would trust all 3 of those guys to do just about anything on a double.

Steve and others,

This is interesting to me. Is there special requirements required for a tube to be used for sleeving? Does it have to come from a firearms manufacturer?

Or could any quality machine shop with adequate machines make a tube from quality steel?

What qualities are required for a tube to be suitable for use in sleeving that we can't find suitable local suppliers?

Is there special heat treatment processes or machining processes?

I'm just curious.

Barrel steel is different that other steel and gets certified for high pressure use. Getting the steel is not the problem. The real issue is there is not enough demand for a supplier to make a go of it on a commercial basis. To make money at it you need to have dedicated tooling, personal, etc and therefore need to sell a bunch, not a few barrels. Such is the state of the modern SxS market.

Getting barrels is the hardest part of the equation like already mentioned. In the past I've gotten them from HG Lomas, an Italian supplier who has a set minimum, or have sacrificed inexpensive guns for their barrels.
