Don,You may very well be correct in the bores being honed although the barrel walls measure .049, and .051, at the end of the barrels, I don't have a wall thickness gauge ,but I can tell you when I bought it ,it appears to have had years of neglect and I believe the gunshop I bought it from just figured they had a piece of junk as bad as it looked ,they didn't even run a cleaning rag or a brush down the bore ! I am planning on using the black accraglass but I am not going to do it ,I have a good friend that is a genius at this kind of repair !Whats amusing is the fellow who works at the gunshop has seen a few of my Parker Guns and he said to me kind of on the sly when I bought this old gun ,I don't know anything about this old gun, but I know one thing ,if you are buying it ,its not what the boss thinks it is !!Maybe you got a good deal ! Funny to me a shop would price an old gun and not know what they have . Russ
