Craigs theory sounds most plausible, but Did DelGrego have a supply of unfinished barrels when he bought out the Parker inventory ?

Yes he did but he wouldn't have marked the barrels with stars to indicate points of choke nor would the lugs have been stamped in that manner, nor would he have marked the tubes with 28 and 32.

Pretty sure it was not Del Grego. Here is the rib and two others. Notice the original serial number of the VH 20 where the lug came from and then the receiver serial number of the GH.

That is NOT Parker matting. It is similar in style, but it was not done on the factory equipment. So that rules out Lefever. I have seen this style of matting on other aftermarket barrels before.

Ok. Where have you seen it? There could not have been too many shops doing that work

Mills, Brians right that is not what I expected to see. Why the unmatted area? Remington did not roll stamp address or barrel steel on there replacement barrels. Looks like Baker matting to me. I have seen a couple of unfinished Parker barrel blanks for sale over several decades. When I visited Lefever in 1973 or '74, I was shown the remaining unfinished barrels which amounted to 13/14 sets, I was told by Dick ? that there was one 00 set a very few 1 1/2 and the balance #1 16 ga. sets.

There were many shops doing Parker barrel work in the sixties.

Remington barrel ribs were fully matted with no blank space at all.
