I recently inherited a very fine German made hammer gun that my uncle brought home from Germanyicon in the early 1960s after a tour in the Army. Its probably a turn of the century piece, a guild gun of extremely high quality. The engraving is typical German style on the left, with stag in deep woods, and what I believe is a Weimaraner on the right. Stock trim is a very dark horn, including the buttplate. Its a gun worth saving

Unfortuneately, the barrels are damascus and in 16 gauge. I know Unc. used to hunt with this for years, but I dont want to take a chance. I'd really like to hunt this gun, it is too nice to be just a wall hanger. Does anybody know someone who can bore these out and insert some tubes (besides Briley - they only seem to do 12 gauge to 20 conversions). I think the wall thickness of the barrels is enough to get some 20 gauge tubes in there, though I could live with 28, as the gun is quite trim other than the barrel dia at the breech.
