So y'all remember that butchered 715 8V BA I got a while back ….Here it is for those of you who missed it…

Well, Eric and I talked about turning it into a restoration project barrel--I mailed it to Eric and he gave me his ideas and here it is !!!

As you can see, Eric managed to shorten/repair the damaged end of the barrel--I now have a true hunter barrel with no sight slot.  He also drilled/tapped the shroud for a DW scope base I had.

I tossed a red dot on it just to see how it looked--I like it !!!

So if any of you guys need some repair work--Eric is the guy.

Thanks again Eric
