Hi Chuck, welcome back.
As of this moment there are a number of Parker enthusiasts who are very interested in the barrels that Simmons is making for Parkers. The Simmons barrels are reported to have the correct rib matting and Simmons customer relations and their claims of what they can do to fulfill the wants and needs of customers seem somewhat superior to what we've been hearing about the CSMC barrels and customer relations. This is not meant to disparage Tony Galazan or his team as they have always produced about the finest shotguns this side of the Atlantic and have always stood behind their products but the issue of their Parker barrels seem to be a "bugaboo" for CSMC.
When are you hosting the PGCA BBQ??
