Kirk sleeved my two Langs 10 or so years ago. If I had another, I'd send it to him.

gjw: For a good Westley, there is only one real choice in the US: Kirk Merrington.
Remember: you will have to live with the workmanship for the rest of your life. What is a few dollars compared to something less?

I don't know what he charges now nor how hard it is to get a gun into Canada and back out. Canada did repeal some laws governing long guns recently. Possibly it's easier now. [/quote]
A large part of the problem seems to be on the US side with the export permits, Homeland Security, etc. As to the repeal of the long gun registry, it ain't a fact yet, but we are sure hoping.

Greg - If I were you I would look into Teague Lining, if if is just the interior of the barrels that are whupped.

safe, reliable sleeving of sxs guns can be accomplished for under $1000. however, do not expect cosmetic perfection for that price.
keep it simple and keep it safe...

To me, the cosmetics are priority one,assuming the new tubes are straight,safe & wont fall off.To even consider sleeving it would have to something pretty nice,& to mess it up with a crappy looking joint would be just daft imho ( like some of those hideous Westley Richards jobs I've seen with SLEEVED BY ETC hammered deeply into the outside of the tubes,,yuk!) What does Master Gunsmith Ed Landers charge for this service, if he does it? franc

Leighton,
I was told that the smiths' name, at Briley, that does the sleeving now is Jeff Nealy, and that he was trained by Kirk.
I'm going to be calling them sometime soon about doing a set of Fox barrels that has a bad right barrel due to a failed bulge repair. I've got a hankering for a set of 34" barrels, struck so that they're not muzzle heavy. John had two Parkers like that. Amazingly nimble for their length.
SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.
