Rich, Do not ever say never! I Started my search for 20 ga hammer guns several years ago, and finally got the ones I was looking for, including a Parker Steel barrel 20 ga hammer gun. AsI get older, Damn I am older than dirt now! but still love the "Hunt" I will probably part with some. 20 gauge hammer guns are hard to find. I believe they made 15 Lifters, and 35 TL in all. Gary

Gary, Do you have a letter documenting your steel barreled 20 gauge hammer gun came that way from the factory? If so what grade is it? Thanks!

Wayne see next post brought up from previous posts

Yes and it is a P grade with Parker Steel barrels, Gary

Does anybody Mono block barrels any more, I know it would take away from the originality of the gun, but with steel tubes you keep the same gauge and should digest some factory loads? Gary

Merrington does , runs about 3,000$ i think for standard gauges .
I think if its a rare gun or one you are really attached to it might be worth it .

If the barrels have been cut down then you have to get a new rib made which is 500$ , which to me is a little high but I dont think there are many gunsmiths in the states who can do this kind of work .

Rice sells barrels from 20 gauge to 8 gauge.

I had my 59.xxx BH fitted with full length Kolar tubes. They have screw in choke tubes and are removable. The tubes are 20 ga and it is a kick to take to the skeet fields and shoot those dangerous Damascus barrels.

I asked Briley once if they would sleeve one of my 10 gauge hammer guns down to 16 gauge ( Hey whats wrong with wanting a 11lb 16 gauge :rotf:)
They told me they only go down one gauge . 12 gauge has no appeal to me so I just kept my dangerous damascus barrels . I figured they probably have the mentality of swordsmiths , alot of them wont make something thats unbalanced even if its your money to do with . Which is fine but I think a heavy 16 gauge with 32" barrels would be a fun gun to have .

why not use gauge mates to turn that 10 ga into any ga you want....my 3 frame 10 gahas shot many 12 ga shells in it even some 3 1/2 inch turkey loads took a few turkey this way....i shoot the 12 ga in my 8 ga s pretty often...it has always amazed me how good the chokes work shooting a smaller shell in a larger bore and it pattern the same as the large bore....charlie
