Acme Barrels

[George Koury]

I need a set of Acme Barrels for a C grade Parker- What are my chances of finding one? The barrels on the gun have been cut to 21 inches Thank you -George

Doggone slim chance of finding orphaned Acme barrels.

I would make "happy" with the 21" barrels and look for a longer set, Acme or not Acme. What is your gauge and frame size?

Bill- 12 gauge- number 2 frame.-Thank you-George

[Bill Murphy]

Thanks. Ejector or non ejector? If you decide to sell the gun, sell it on this site.

[George Koury]

Bill- Ejector - I do not know what the gun is worth with 21 inch barrels. The wood is in nice condition (no cracks-chips etc.) needs a rubber pad. The blue is a very light patina with out any surface rust. Overall I think the gun is in good condition?- If I can figure out how to send pictures I will do so.-Thank you-George

Hi George, like Dean said, you are shopping in thin air looking for Acme barrels. I seem to recall a set that came up for sale on this form a couple of years ago. They sold the same day as I recall it and that is the only set that I have ever seen for sale. You may want to consider just finding a set of barrels and having the rib legend re-engraved if it bothers you that much that it doesn't say Acme. For all I know one of our members may even be able to roll stamp it for you, assuming we are talking about a solid rib and not a vent rib gun ?

[George Koury]

Randy -It is a solid rib gun. Thank you-George

Titanic barrels are not unheard of on a CH as well as Damascus.

379 12 GA C grades were fitted with Titanic Barrels. 410 had Acme. Titanic barrels are appropriate then for C's and much easier to find since D grades had them as well.
