I hate to post this on a Long Range shooting site, but am getting desperate.
I have been building my soon to be 16 year old grandson a Model 311 12 GA for his birthday so when we go shooting, we don't have to share my shotgun. Been working on it for months, a receiver here , a butt stock there, refinish stocks, etc.
Only thing left is the barrel and the only barrel I have has the left bore pitted so bad that it's unusable. He absolutely loves a friend's model 311, so thought I'd build him one of his own. Most of the ones I found in pawnshops and gun stores weren't worth the money they wanted for them and some were absolutely sad.
Checked all the common and uncommon places and gun parts sites and found lots of 20's, and 16's, but no 12 Gauge barrels. Gun Parts Corp. has been out for over a year.
Exterior can be a little rough, as I can re-blue it if necessary, but need a clean bore.
Anyone got an old broken 311 with a good barrel and needs a few bucks in trade?
Thanks,
Bruce
