Rusty,

I talked with hogkiller on the phone for an hour or so when he was talking about using the parker to build a DR. Seemed like a good down to earth guy. Even if I don't agree with using the parker

.

I've used Pac-Nors for the last couple of ones I built. However I get the basic barrels then turn the profiles myself. I think this along with building your own monoblocks is the most effective way to get the weight in the homebuilt DR the way it is supposed to be. You see when you cut off shotgun barrels then you are kind of limited to starting your replacement barrels profile so it matches up with the existing profile. If you build your own monoblock you can use the first 4-5 inches and keep them almost straight. This allows a lot more mass to be between the hands. The with the custom profiles of the barrels it allows you to get the right feel out at the end of the barrels by how thick or thin you let them. The nice thing with being able to turn your own is you can turn them then try them with the ribs and stuff tapes in place and see if you like the feel. If you need to shed more weight then you put them back on the lathe and take a little more off the profile till it feels right. Anyway I hadn't been taking pics of the process I use because I was simply working out the way I like doing it. However I'm done ordering all the barrels and reamers to start some builds. I'll be photographing them, so should have alot more to share in a few weeks.

Bill
