    Can anyone recommend a company for re-Boring a set of barrels?

  2. I think DesmoDuke had some done the most recently - last couple of years or so.



    Yes - that one! "I've used Langcourt a couple of times, quick turn around and quality was spot-on."

  3. You don't say what sort of barrel, nor for what model. A few months ago I had a Pantah barrel rebored and Nikasil coated by Langcourt of Weston Super Mare. They were very good. Is that the sort of thing you need?

  4. A set of ST3 barrels, not sure what coating is on the barrels.

  5. St3 is a nikasil type barrel, and as said langcourt is as good start but not the best, I think it is the only option in the uk though.

  11. If you get them Nikasil coated, be very careful if you should happen to fit chrome rings as well..........'Running in' is a must.
