That gun did look very rough.

Sorry to hear the bad news about your gun Harold. I was looking forward to seeing her brought back. Good for you for at least being willing to take on a project like that. Now, go find another

In the ~I Learn Something New Every Day~ category I must say Thank You to both Edgar and John on this topic. I had not known about the close tolerance fit of those two surfaces until I read it in John's article "Parkers in Pulp" and Edgar posted about it in the practical application on Harold's gun. I just came up from my gun room where I took the forend off a 16 gauge 0-frame GH and shaking it, got a bit of wiggle so knew it was a tiny bit loose. I smoked that front surface of the rear lug and put the barrels back on and then took them off again. The soot was cleanly rubbed off the entire surface of the lug.... I was surprised to have seen that on a 'loose' gun. So Thanks again guys! That's definitely something to keep in mind in the future when attempting to fit barrels from one gun to another. .

What I am wondering is how many times people had an off-face condition, on a Parker, where a non original set of barrels are being fitted by some means of moving the barrel back, thus opening up the lug/frame fit. This would seem to me to be a temporary fix that will only worsen again. |

And it will worsen very quickly lacking that contact surface.

I wonder how easy or difficult the fitters/filers in Meriden found this process to be.
Their skill always has amazed me. .

It is important to note that when the guns were built new, the rib extension was not on the barrels when they were fitted to the frame.
The initial barrel fit was done without them. So fitting was far less involved without that in the equation. After the flat breech was fitted to the frame, the rib extention was attached to the barrels and fitted to the frame. Then the rib concave was final profiled along with the frame and top lever. Then matted. You will note evidence of this in TPS where they name that Rib extension fitting was a separate operation in the factory.
