Holland & Holland has had NEW (brand new, with barrels of top quality modern steel) double rifles ruined before they were even finished (being regulated in the white) with monos.
400,
Any record of how many rounds were fired in this particular incident?
The damage was done while the rifle was being regulated. As I recall, they said less than 60 rounds.

Also, what was the actual damage to these barrels, as the "ruined" description could mean any number of types of damage?
There was mention a while back of an article about this gun being written up in DGJ. Does anyone know which issue that was?
The damage was rifling pressed through to the outside of the barrels. I heard the story in their shop. Ross Seyfried mentioned it in an article in DGJ, IIRC, in 1994 or so.
