And by the way, in case you didn't notice...... there are a couple of amazing posts above from some "craftsmen" who have actually fitted orphan barrels. God I'd love to have been a fly on the wall.

I have done enough attempted barrel fitting to know that I don't want to do it when I want near a near perfect outcome. And, that is the only kind of fitting job I would be satisfied with. There are many gunsmithing jobs I have learned to do, and enjoy. I may try again, but the truth is I'm not willing at this point to risk messing up a nice set, to learn by mistakes, and I'm not willing to invest the time necessary to teach myself on a "scrap" gun and barrels set that won't be used afterwards. I know that is a proper way to learn, but I'm just not there yet.
I would pay well, or be willing to barter anything reasonable, to sit under a master barrel fitter and be taught, without having to figure it all out for myself and make all the usual mistakes. Or, maybe I'm just lazy.

Argo44, then I would suggest that you find a copy of "Shotgun Technicana" by Michael McIntosh and David Trevallion. There is a very good explanation of the fitting of barrels to the action there, and a whole lot more you'd likely find interesting. It is out of print, and much in demand, so used copies often sell for $100.00 or more. But occasionally you can snag one for less.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

SRH No, Stan, you're just wise. "Fools rush in....."

SRH Who are the currently working gunsmiths out there that are “Master Barrel Fitters”?

Sorry boys....no vacation....been hunting mostly...3 deer so far.
Any how....instead of wasting your valuable time pissing on each other get out there and do some shooting and/or hunting.
These guns we love are meant to be used by sportsmanship of the non-armchair variety.
The stand is up...and me and my Kreighoff Drilling are headed that way.....Be good?
