I have work done by Kirk Merrington in the past and have been happy, but I am wondering who else does quality work?
Also does anyone in The US do invisable sleeving?

Although I haven't seen any guns that were sleeved by Hugh Lomas, I see that he does offer sleeving services. http://www.hglomasgunmakers.com/repairs.php

I have a Parker that was sleeved by Simmons, don't know if they still do it or not. It is a nice job.

I am sure that Dewey Vicknair has the capability to sleeve barrels.

I have the capability of sleeving. Most of my "sleeving" is shotgun to double rifle conversions but I have done a few shotguns too.

Aaron sleeved a set of L C Smith barrels for me which are currently at the engraver. The barrels will still need to be rust blued after that but the work Aaron has done thus far is exceptional.

Gunmaker, what is the price range for sleeping a set of 30" barrels?
Thanks

Briley is NOT currently sleeving barrels. There was a big shakedown there about 6 months ago and the gunsmith who physically does the work got let go. I actually had a gun there in the due for sleeving that got returned to me untouched due to that whole mess.
Merrington is the only person that I have personally had do work for me that I know of doing the work. I would like to know some others.
The other issues with this whole sleeving thing is not only who CAN do the work well, but also if they can get tubes. That is a big problem for Kirk right now.

Is there a barrel shortage or something? Who makes the unfinished barrels anyway?
