loud-n-boomerWho for an extra set of shotgun barrels?
I have a high-grade 1930s-vintage Ugartechea sidelick shotgun for which I would like a second set of barrels. I have an idea of the cost, but I don’t know who does this now that Ugartechea is out of business. Any suggestion?

loud-n-boomerLet me clarify, does anyone have suggestions or recommendations for someone to make another set of barrels.

skl1Loud-n-boomer,
I thought Kirk Merrington would do this. Maybe not. Maybe he just does sleeving and monoblock conversions. I'd ask.
Dale Tate (associated with FieldSport up in Traverse City, I think) might also be able to do this. Though I think he actual farms out his barrel work to Kirk Merrington.
JJ Perodeau might do it.
Might try Connecticut Shotgun.
Sorry, those are the only folks I can think of that do doublegun barrel work who might try to make the barrels from scratch for you.
