I don't know????? the more I look at these barrels maybe they can be saved with some micro welding....just kidding!

Carvel....... I will call you tomorrow on the barrels, I don't like to bother people after 9pm.

The new letter requester widget is pretty darn nice! Even I figured it out!

Outstanding find!!!

Whatever you decide to do, you have a very neat piece of history. If I were you, I think I would spend as much as I could afford in stages to bring it back to it's original beauty.

I would take time and build it. What a find and just imagine when it is finished! To me it is a piece of history and a once in a lifetime chance to own such a beauty even though it will cost. Compare it's value when finished to what a similar gun would cost on the market if one was available. If replacement cost of a similar gun is much more than the restoration cost, I would say it is a worthwhile project, provided the finished gun would have the value to justify the project. I know you guys know what those numbers would be, what do you think? Please share your thoughts, I would love to know what you think for all of us who can only dream of owning such a piece.

I would get some replacement barrels and just clean up the rest of the gun. It deserves to be brought back to shooting condition.

Brian, My reaction to this thread when I read it was what a find. I didn't have much emotion except a good laugh when I saw your " I think I can bring back the barrels with microwelding" photo.
However, last night I had several horrible nightmares that my Parkers had developed horrible bulging spongecake rust under the bluing that would come out in wet gobs.
Good luck with your project.
Erick

If you were in the Deep South, you could try duct tape.

I would do that barrel like a pups tail. Take a little off at a time until I thought it looked good.

I have seen some barrels that were pretty bad before but I beleave those are the worst I have ever seen. Even duct tape won't help. What a shame.

Mills: I saw a photo in one of Dean's post where he has a set of barrels taped. The New England folks are learning from us southern boys Bob
