firstly i would not wish to add to RichardH troubles and wish him a speedy recovery,but the gentleman chasing the shotgun barrels needs to contact his local firearms dept and explain the situation.he is missing a load bearing part of a section 2 firearm and is unable to locate it.i had a RFD go AWOL with a shotgun of mine once.i contacted my local firearms department and told them.i had the gun back inside a week..
