What do I need to finish gun?

[Aaron Beck]

Based on what the cut 16 ga damascus barrels on gunbroker went for the other day, it seems like you could replace the missing half. Gunsmith to fit likely required.

There is always the same ad in DGJ from someone who buys SXS barrels of all makes. I can only imagine this person also sells barrels. The only contact is through DGJ so I would give Daniel Cote a call and ask if this person has barrels to sell, including barrels that might fit your Parker.

That is Daniel who is buying barrels.

Okay, that’s even better.

One of my 0 frame 28ga. guns is amongst the earliest 28s, (one of a identical pair ordered in 1900 by Folsom, the first documented 24" 28ga. guns) and the bolster measurement is .078" smaller than my other, and that one, including all my other 0 frame guns measure withing a few thous of 2 1/16"

That barrel was not cut. It was 26" and is in the 'book' at 26", from a CHE.

That means one call instead of two. Good luck!
