I had a .375 double in my shop that I think at one time had a stuck case in the right barrel. It seemed that the original onwer tried to get it out with a drill bet. The new owner of this rifle found out that a fired case only had a neck length of around .125" and a shoulder angle of about 35 degrees. I know how chambers can be sleved but did not want to try it since I have never done one.
After a phone call to David Trevelion, who recomened Ken Eversol I found the cure. He sleved the chamber and did a great repair. It was not cheep but well worth the price and the work was fantastic, you could not tell by eye that the gun had been worked on.

It is the small calibers that are the biggest bores.
