Barrel set

[George M. Purtill Member #28]

I am not sure what you are implying, Dean.
You are not implying that the math is linear? Are you?
3500-750= 2750?
No way
Barrels without anyplace to go are not worth that much.
I think that the synergistic effect of BOTH get you to 3500.

I think they are worth more to someone with a special gun with a set of barrels that are blown or out of proof, than someone looking to make a two barrel set. I don't think $2000 is unreasonable to the right person. A nice set of 32" 12 ga barrels just sold here for $2800 w/ complete beaver tail forend. My guess would be $2000-$2500.

No George, that's not what I'm implying - but, the value of any Parker is supported by the condition (or existence) of its barrels.

I'm not so sure you're absolutely right. The value of given set of barrels (for whatever reason someone wants them) is what the buyer and seller agree on. And I think you'll agree that this is a pretty special set of barrels.

What would a new set of barrels for a Parker cost IF one could guy them? Probably about $3000! So how much are a set of original and rare or at least scarce barrels worth? A good deal more than a thousand.

if you need them they are priceless.

[C.O.B.]

Those 12 ga bbl that were sold for $2800 had a BTF attached to them. I have seen the forarm with the iron go for 800-1000 bucks that makes the bbls worth 1800-2000.

I need to go find my calculator!!

They are worth what someone is willing to pay for them.
Barrels in that configuration will command a high price for someone looking for such.

Another way to look at this is the following:

What would it cost to have a set made? The closest we can get is to have a set monblocked/ sleeved. The minimum cost for that is $1800 not including taxes, shipping, cost of original monoblock, etc.

IMO: $2200 to 3000 is the range.

Josh hope this helps.

I disagree. A really nice set of 32" Titanic ejector barrels are worth a sight more than you suggest... you just got a terrific deal, that's all.
