Re guns sleeved by Merrington . . . I don't think there's much question that he does good work. But he also does not stamp them "sleeved". Good work + not marked sleeved can = potential deception down the line, when the current owner parts company with the gun. If a gun is sleeved, especially "invisibly" so, it ought to be marked sleeved. As required by the proof laws in the UK.

I couldn't agree with Larry's sentiment on this issue more.

Socialism is almost the worst.

If that's the case, y'all should take up a collection and send me and my guns to the London proof house, I'll take pictures. LVI, Philly, and Newark are the most convenient airfields for me.

Thanks!

Interesting discussion. Can a damascus gun be sleeved with damascus barrel(s) from another gun, assuming they are the same diameter?

I suppose it could be done but a) I doubt the patterns would match b) I bet the weld would be very obvious.

The answer is yes they can. I believe that Greener was offering such a service a couple of years back. They had come into a number of damascus barrels made back in the "golden era" of damascus.

Well, I am going to see if it can be done. The patterns will be different, but I know I will like the result.

I think the browning matching would be problematic
