rebore double rifles
14/08/05 12:33 PM

Hello from Montana,
A while back I had the opportunity of purchasing a 400/360 William Evans, a gorgeous boxlock with full scroll, strap over the comb, burl wood -- top notch in all regards except for well-worn bores. I am curious. Have you ever considered reboring worn doubles to slightly larger diameters, in the case of the 360 (diameter 366) to 375? Or, say, a worn 450 to 470, or 333 to 338, if there was sufficient metal for the process? Also, and perhaps I am exhibiting my ignorance, but with today's advanced technology, isn't only a matter of time before we have a replating process that enables metalsmiths to recut new rifling in old pitted bores in the same caliber? It seems to me that a lot of great old doubles could be rejuvinated by the process. In any case, the price for the 360 was right, but I held off because of the bore condition. Surely this is a common hangup when it comes to doubles and I'd appreciate your opinions. Thankyou. Keith
