Hi folks, due to my own stupid fault I've managed to seize my RB225 this afternoon. I've stripped it down and unfortunately I won't get away with just replacing the piston. My question is, who is the best person/dealer for me to send the barrel to for it to be repaired/re-lined as necessary?
There aren't a lot of people advertising this type of work, so I don't have a clue who to send it to (someone who is well recommended).
Any help will be much appreciated folks, thanks in advance.

You can send it to langcourts if it needs a replate, unless you know what your doing I would go to a dealer like ChiselSpeed or JB. You might even get away with a clean in an acid bath, you will only need a re-plate if the nikasil has chipped/flaked.

There are only two places do this everyone else will just send them to either of these.
Aptech 01452300800 for ceramic lining
Langcourts 01934 612226 for nicasil
Aptech more expensive but I think better.
PJME very kindly did a very bad job on a barrel of ours recently and then left us to put right their cock up. It aint the first thing they've ballsed up either. Very bad aftersales.
