Fitting barrels
I have a G Parker on a number one frame, made in 1890. The barrels are damascus and have a break on the outside about 4 inches back from the muzzle. It appears that the barrel must have dropped against something hard and dented the barrel and broke the outer surface. You can feel the break with your finger nail. It also has a distinct ring about 12 inches from the breech on the right barrel. I am certain that the barrels are not shootable but have found a set of frame one barrels in good shape. The barrel were made in 1883. Will having them fit to my frame be doable. I know I will have to have a qualified smith do the fitting, one who actually knows how to fit barrels. I also will need to find a buttstock for the gun as well if anyone knows of anyone who specializes in Parker parts. Thanks.
