Jay, tubes do not need to be permanent. They will be made to fit nice and snug. Briley did some for me. Turned a “parts gun” into a nice shooter. As for whether 12g tubes will fit, you’d need to ask Briley.

Briley does not offer tubes for 10g guns. I inquired with them on this a few months ago on this point. Only a 12g. And that would have to step down to 20g.

Yeah, if the price is low, it may make a worthwhile project.

You’ve also got the option to sleeve or monobloc the barrels.

Some poor guy got taken for $1470. Around and around it goes, passing to its 50th owner. I’d never heard of Ward’s but I will be sure never to bid with them.

Briley DOES offer 20 gauge Ultralight tubes for ten gauge guns, at least their price list has shown this option for many years. $749 minus any dealer discount you can find. Your would then have screw chokes for the 20 gauge tubes. Brian may have talked to them during a time that they didn't have any 10 gauge tubes premade.

After thinking about it...I wanted a second chance with this Parker. I wanted to get it it fixed or find another set of barrels(or both). There was so much I liked about the gun when I first got it. Here is the PGCA letter from when I bought it the first time.

I am looking forward to being reunited after 6 years and giving her the attention she deserves.

Reads like a gun with a history of good use. No wonder it has a couple of battle scars.

They just told me they offered no option for 10g barrels. Their words.

And besides, for the project I contacted them on, going to 20g was not a desired option. I was inquiring about 10 to 12 possibilities. The gun was chambered 12g but had 10g sized bores that were very rough. I was thinking of punching the chambers out to 10g size and then permanently installing 12g tubes. It was a C grade bernard barreled hammer gun. We wanted to keep the bernard barrels and maintain it as a 12g. To date a solution has not yet been thought up.
