Bill is correct--none have been produced yet.

Their ad for these replacement barrels states "These barrels are being built to order, if you do not order now you will not be able to get a pair. These are available for a VERY limited time." So not wanting to miss out on the opportunity to buy a pair or two, I called CSMC a few days ago to inquire about them. They told me that they were not yet built and that they were taking orders, I explained that I was looking to purchase a set, but had some reservations as to the fitting of my existing 28-ga. splinter forend wood
around the barrels, the doll's head fit and how much additional weight these .410 barrels would add. Their representative told me that if I was expecting a perfect fit that these barrels probably wouldn't be for me.

Someone on some gun site posted that Lou has told them that none would be finished in 2010.

That's kinda strange Bill, I spoke with a lady phone receptionist at CSMC about 2 weeks ago and was told by her that "they were currently in the shop and in production".

That really narrows it down....

Galazan's has also stated that after a certain date no orders would be accepted - it was either EOM January or February as I recall.

There is also some question as to Galazan fitting them properly and with precision to our guns.

Has anyone spoken with Tony or Lou recently to ask their current position on this venture?

Dean, I do not claim to be on-top-of-it, but I do have an interest in these barrels, so I've been keeping a keen eye and ear open regarding them---I have not heard that these Parker barrels had an ordering deadline other than what their ad in Parker Pages had stated: "These barrels are being built to order, if you do not order now you will not be able to get a pair. These are available for a VERY limited time." I did get a couple of e-mails from CSMC and have seen other ads that have stated their RBL offerings for order will be terminated on 1/31/10.

I want a set of the .410 barrels but I want them in my hands to fool around with before I commit to sending my gun anywhere for fitting. I want to give the fitting a shot before I let anyone else do it. The doll's head will be the biggest problem, as it was with the Krieghoff barrels.

Ditto that Bill. When I called CSMC a couple of weeks ago to inquire specifically about them Lou was backed up with customers, so I asked the office lady to request Lou or Tony to give me a call me back...I wanted to know--if I would order a set, would they send them to me in-the-white so I could first check for potential fit, if the fit looked promising (doll's head and forend) I would then have them engraved to match the breech end of my existing Repro's engraving and then I'd send them back to them for bluing...I haven't received a call back.
