Were the dolls head installed later?
I suppose Dave's unfinished barrels could be for a Trojan? |

Yup, intended for a Trojan - hey, wait a minute, were any Trojans built on the 1 1/2 frame size?
It doesn't have the Trojan forend lug either.... Dave - are those the barrels you got from Austin? (Hmmm... no barrel steel designation yet...  ).

Yes they are Dean. The dolls head extension was fitted later by the first soft fitter when mating the barrels to the frame.

Typical Parker rib extentions were about 2" long with the dolls head being part of the extension. They were screwed down to the barrel and soldered.
I would be interested in seeing the top side of those unfinished barrels to see what is going on in the rib extention area. image.jpg

I'm still trying to understand why the stamped barrel weight on my 16 VH is so different from the actual weight as I have already posted. The barrels are untouched and all original. This 16 Vh is serial # 221866 and was produced in 1927. This may be far fetched but is it possible that after years of lead blowing through the barrel, that there could be sufficient wear and tear on the barrels?
