in a double rifle barrel regulation experiment my retired machinist & I made barrel inserts in a double barrel shotgun that had 3 screws radially around the end of each barrel... to adjust the barrel liners... afterwards, we were able to return the old shotgun back to a functional shotgun, by dressing off the screws, flush with the barrel, after some lock-tite, then a little blueing, & the screw holes were virtually invisible

Put the screws in the screw holes, filed flush to the barrel, polished, then Belgian browned the barrel. The only person who could find the holes after that was me - and only because I knew where to look. |

I have had a suggestion for the two large holes to silver solder plugs in, They will hard to find. The front slot on my 1917 was done this way in 1963. It has worked well. Have a nice day Don K

If you just use screws to plug the holes and then file flush, you tend to end up with gaps. Instead, bevel the edge of the hole slightly, leave the screw a tad long, then peen it into place and dress it off. The fix will be practically invisible.
