I'm curious Fred, how you came by a PGCA roster without being a PGCA Member ?

Dean he might have meant the list of forum members.
I think it would be easier to find another set of barrels. You might call Batchelder's in Grand Rapids MI.

Sounds like quite an endeavor Fred. I have been racking my brain and looking thru my old files for the email of a guy who is always buying old guns, parts, barrels, etc--perhaps he may have what you need. I'll keep looki ng

You could also try Phillip Cote from Double Gun Journal. He might have a barrel set or rib.

Well, I find old Parkers that have been neglected and need restoration. The reason I'm going to sleeve, Rib and reblue this set of barrels is they are from an O frame G grade gun and when I'm finished I will have a two barrel set 20 and 28ga. exhibition English walnut stocked and like new metalwork. Thank you

Are you looking for any particular barrel steel inscription?
I couldn't count the number of guns Ive restored, I'm 72 and been playing with them since I was 12. I have not, however, taken barrels apart with the intention of reassembling them.
Hallelujah!!! Kirk had a rib so the search is over. Thank you Edgar for pointing me in Mr. Merrington direction.

Sounds like a worthy endeavor Fred, are you doing a lot of the work yourself?
WAs just going to make a phone call to see about finding a rib--glad you found one.
In regards to Edgar, he reminds me of the Dos Equis man--the most interesting man in the world.
Post some pictures of your project as you go along.
What part of the country do you call home?
