DeCarbonized barrels

[charlie cleveland]

i dont have a gun with those kind of barrels but i know they look like the plain steel barrels parker used..they pretty much look like fluid steel barrels except more of a black finish than blue...charlie

Mills, These are from #1416 a Parker Back Action gun.

De carbed barrels on my Remingtons look no different than Vulcan steel but trend more towards black or real deep blue color. Hard to really tell on 140 + year old finish.

And BTW; based on Dave's composition analysis, "Parker Steel" may well be Decarbonized/Parker Plain Steel
