Parker reproduction Barrel marking..

[Bill Murphy]

The parts for the 1988 reintroductions were in wooden boxes in the Remington Archives. I took pictures of them in 1998 when the PGCA Research Committee was at the "Arms" to copy the Parker records. I think our photos were posted on this site a few years ago. I don't know how to find those photos but someone may repost them. I have prints that I had made from my camera. Don Mainland from Kolar had the expertise to make the barrels, but, apparently, someone at Remington volunteered to take on the barrel project. Except for the prototypes, the barrels never got made. I never saw the Art Wheaton prototypes, but the raffle gun was shown at Pintail Point at the Vintagers. I wonder who owns it now? As I previously posted, the catalog pictures were of Ritchie Wingle's AHE 20 gauge. At that time, a prototype had not been completed.
