Rebarreled maybe but the ones that were sleeved were not done by Parker or Remington. Sleeving was an aftermarket proposition.
Regarding shootability.... your Dad shot them all and probably didn’t pay a lot of attention to the loads he was shooting and if he loaded his own, just loaded to the standard trap and skeet loads of the day. I’m sure they haven’t sustained any ‘damage’ from sitting unused all these years since your Dad stopped shooting them.
What a nice legacy he left you.
