My guess is a base wad on a previous shell caused a partial blockage.

I also doubt they knew as it is subtle compared to this photo. The Damascus pattern makes it less visible. I would guess factory heavy 2 3/4 inch loads with standard 12k psi pressure in 2 1/2 inch chambers. Here is a set of 12 GA VH barrels I purchased from Brian Dudley in this condition. I'm guessing on these factory 3 inch shells in the 2 3/4 inch chambers, as the bulge is four and a quarter inches out. Now whoever did this you would think had to notice the first one and you wonder why they did it again? Maybe the excitement of a gobbler in front of them? p.s. I don't think the GH is worthless now. It still has some value although a fraction of the before value. |

Well...I guess the old saying 'Never lend someone your car or your girl....' applies here. In fact, you could use 'hot load' instead of 'rod' and it would work for guns, too.

Depends what level he's at on GI . Generally a bigger dealer gets the higher priced deal and you can list all you want for one price . So if that's the case this listing cost him nothing .

I saw it yesterday ,what a shame and although I have never met Steve in person,the first 28 Ga. Parker I ever purchased was from him and he was a Pleasure to deal with and a Fine Gentleman , I think he is, as he said in the ad ,Boiling , maybe just beside himself and hoping the shooter will at least own up to it if they in fact knew about the damage ! At the least an apology would surely be in order ! Just my opinion , I haven't called to inquire of the gun or spoke with any one about it !

I think this is heavy load damage, not obstruction. Both bbls being bulged indicates that, and they look equally bulged. Just my guess. Nice gun; what a shame. I'd have a go at taking the bulges out were it mine and would feed it nothing but low pressure loads after that, but you'd be wailing on them pretty good to take them out in that location. It would be an interesting project to at least give it a try.
Thanks to Edgar for the post below. Sounds like taking the bulges out is not an option. A real shame. |

I saw this gun at Hausmann's and both bulges are right at the forcing cones. Additionally, they go all the way around the diameter, right into both top and bottom ribs, which, to me, says the barrels would have to be taken completely apart to tap the bulges down. I am also of the opinion that they were 2 3/4" hot shells.
