Attached are photos of the 16 gauge Galazan barrels with the ill-fitting dolls head extension. The last photo is the factory fit of the dolls head extension on an original barrel.

Origin and meaning

The given name Brian is a variant of the given name Bryan. This name is thought to be derived from an Old Celtic language word meaning "high", or "noble".

Early examples of the name are found among both the Breton people as Bryan, and among the Irish as Brian.

Kinda dispels the notion that 'one size fits all', doesn't it?

The fact of the matter here is that each and every original Parker was hand built and varations in fit exist. Similar issues are encountered with fitting a set of original barrels to a different gun. Now, your gun is a Parker Repro, where machining was much more consistent and interchangability was a lot better, but the chance is still there for variation. I personally have fitted up a set of galazan barrels to a repro and the rib extension fit was pretty darn good.

The Galazan barrels were made complete and finished, then sold. Not made and fitted for and to the individual gun they would be going onto. So, these minor fit issues are normal to be encountered. The rib extension on those barrels may fit another gun very well, but just not yours.
You could go through the work of reinventing the wheel to make the fit better, but even then... the rib matting would still not be correct.

At the end of the day the barrels do fit and lock up tight. Have not had any issues with firing or accidental opening after a fired shell. I say leave it be. Thanks everyone for their responses and comments.

Thanks for the pictures, Tom. I could fix that dolls head with some machining. It'd be tedious and not nearly worth the cost though. I think it's cool CSMC put forth the effort and made barrels available but, I'm also a bit surprised they cut corners (no pun intended) the way they did. Welcome to the new world of manufacturing, I suppose
