You guys this is all very heart warming I'm just starting a Chambers Colonial Fowler kit with a 46" 12Ga Rayl barrel. There was a very slight warp in it, nothing serious, but I didn't mess around, went up to Birmingham, to a guy who is probably the last, apprenticeship served, one man band independent barrel borers left in the trade, who straightened it out in very short order, he commented on it's good quality. Great to know I've got a barrel off the right man. :thumbsup:
