we are thinking about manufacturing best quality chopper lump rifle barrels. we could put them together, digitize the lumps on your existing barrels and cut the lumps on the new barrels with our wire edm machine so that a minimum amount of fitting is required. i am in the process of doing this on my webley 500 3in. the right barrel burst about 4 inches back from the muzzle using westley richards ammo with woodleigh bullets. it was prohibitive to have the rifle rebarreled in england and very difficult to get the new chopper tubes so we could do it here. this would make caliber changes or new barrels much easier. any interest? bruce bowen www.bbguns.net | ||

Bruce I think there would be a lot of intrest. A lot of guys might like to have a set of smaller bbls fitted to their 40cal and up doubles. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

If you could make alloy barrels for big doubles so we could put 12GA FH, 577NE,600NE, 700NE, etc on 10ga Zabala, etc frames there would be a market.If you could make long alloy 12ga rifled barrels with pivot for NEF Ultra slug guns another market.Ed MZEE WA SIKU | |||

i don't know what the cost will be. it is too early in the project. keep in mind that i am not going to offer complete chopper barrels but rather a pair of choppers that are soldered together and the lumps cut to close fit for an existing action. i do not want to get into regulation, ribs and sights, etc. keep in mind as well that new barrels in england or europe at over $20,000 which is more that many rifles are worth. if i were to make a guess i would say in the $5000 range. you would then have to have someone do the rest of the work. thanks for your interest. bruce bowen | |||
