Thanks very much. Do you recall length of time until barrel was returned to you, and approximate cost?

I love 16 ga. I own several..sxs, rem 48, Browning Sweet 16[original], Rem 870 Wingmaster. I no longer duck hunt, but I love chasing grouse, woodcock, and bunnies, even deer! All of these guns are at least 50 years old, and run flawlessly. I need to get rid of a bunch, but its like selling your kids!

Call Rick Lawry, he will let you know current price and time it takes, 905 765 3343.
I had mine done several years ago, turn about time , and prices most likely have changed, I also had my 10 gauge done by them.

Never used my old guns for waterfowl due to the steel shot but for hare and grouse I used them once and a while when I feel like changing up things

I'm still using my 870 wingmaster that I got 45 yrs ago for my 15th birthday, and it was used when I got it.

A family member of mine did it in their shop.
