Nice, did the owner say what the barrel was; Hart, Schneider, something else?

Not sure of barrel type but action was a 52D and work done in 1990.

Real nice. Never had the opportunity for Carl to do barrel work. Really like his trigger in my 1811.

Regarding the barrel contour, Karl installed what I specified, a heavy barrel for the Win 52D and a standard barrel for a 1407. These barrels matched the originals. He suggested Schneider.
Later I asked for a trigger for a 1807. He said that the newer Anschutz triggers were fine and did not need replacing.
A short story. Karl phoned my home for my 52D. My kids forgot to tell me he called. The following week he called back to check on the rifle. I explained not receiving his message then shipped the rifle the next day. I was pleasantly surprised when in less than a week I got the rifle back, rebarreled and bedded. This included shipping from and to Hawaii. He sent the test targets later.
Excellent work and done fast.
