Can Original Parker barrels be fitted to a Repro

[George M. Purtill Member #28]

Has anyone fitted or heard of the fitting of original Parker barrels to a repro?
I have a set of orphan 1-1/2 frame ventilated rib trap barrels from a late Remington DHE that I would like to mate to 12 DHE repro.
Is this possible?

Do your barrels have a curved extension rib or a flat extension rib?

Good point Bill.

I'm a dope - what is the difference? All mine look the same.

George some doll's head extensions are slightly concave while some are flat

Dave Suponski explains the different types of ribs and corresponding frame shapes in his article in Parker Pages a few years ago.

Robin you would know.

Repro barrels can be fitted to an original gun, so why not visa versa? I would say yes.

You would likely encounter the normal need for fitting as you would with any barrel set.
