I am building a single shot rifle, and as it looks so far, it will turn out fine. ( I had my doubts for a while)

Anyway, Now I have my sights set on another project. A small frames two barrel set O/U with .17 rem or similar rifle barrels and 28 ga shotgun barrels. Problem seems to be finding 28 ga tubes. Do any of you know a source?

I don't have phone number or address, but Hugh Lomas imports barrels from Italy. He lives in Wisconsin.

Best of luck with your project.

Umm, scratch Wind River, sorry about the info, the reviews are worse than what I posted.

Idea- get a Mossberg O/U 2 barrel
28ga and 20 gauge set. About 700 bucks,
on Gunbroker and other places..
That way 28ga is already done.
Them get your 17cal barrels and have a
smith monoblock them into the 20ga breech
sections, made by cutting barrels ahead
of pivot to make monoblocks that fits gun.
Should be a huge amount easier and less
expensive than making it all from scratch.
A smith by name of John Bangel does this,
I have heard.ED

Great idea Ed. Thanks!! I will look into it.

I can do all the machine work, but just needed a source for tubes.
