Fitting O/U barrels

I have 3 12 ga O/U shotguns from the same maker. I just won a GB auction that will give me a set of 20. 28. 410 barrels for the same O/U make.

My question. How much will it cost to have a barrel from the new set fitted to a different receiver?

Thanks

    IF your O/U is a valmet model 412 or 512 it will not cost anything all barrel sets interchange. [:)][^] other brand you may get lucky but on the other hand it is much easier to remove metal then make a too small part larger. I would contact maker of your O/U and see if they would be willing do the job. Or look through Double gun Journal. they have gunsmiths that can do the job correctly.

    This will require a gun smith.

    Are they too tight, too loose or do they fit and you're worried about it?
