I guessed about 25% too high considering they are a typical set of barrels, sans mod of course..appreciate the feedback. Shame they appear to have been trashed. Making interchangeable chokes work doesn't look like it'd be an easy task.

Even "typical" loose sets of Parker Reproduction barrels, in any gauge or length, are very scarce. I think 'supply & demand' would dictate the sell price. I'll bet the seller knows the problem with those barrels and has set the price accordingly, leaving room of course, for some dickering.

I once bid $4k for a set of 28" .410 Repro barrels.... and I lost.
Were they "typical" Repro barrels? I think that term might be subjective.

Sooo.. What would the approximate value of a 12 Ga., BHE bbl choked Q1 & Q2 be? I have a couple of DHE 12s and an extra BHE bbl. I like Q1&Q2 chokes and was going to put them with one of my 12s. Thanks for a reply.

When you find a set that is for sale and you just have to have them, I don't think you'll really care what an 'approximate value' would be, according to other folks' opinions. They're not the people who 'want' or 'need' them. Only you can make the determination of their worth or value.

Even VERY experienced smiths can muck up chokes that badly. I have the proof.

Here's another fine example of quality work

At least it's not permanent..

I spoke to the gentleman selling the barrels and actually made an offer on the barrels before seeing the pictures. Ask who worked on the barrels and he said his gunsmith who had done a number of barrels for him. He said point of impact was dead on right and left and up and down. Glad I saw the pictures. Needless to say I won't be buying these barrels. Don't even know if you could get Briley to put screw in tubes in these????
