Not necessarily "identical" Mark. They will probably still need a lot of fine fitting and filing to make them fit precisely right.

Maybe one of our "barrel" guys can help here?

You're having synapse errors. I think your plug wires are wet. I didnt take remedial mind reading.

You're all right in that I left gaps in my 'mind to hand' process that left my statement meaningless. Apologies to all for that.

But anyone with just a basic understanding should have gotten your meaning. Let’s not nitpick

Man! I collect shotguns, fish and hunt, smoke cigars and drink bourbon and martinis JUST so i can forget about english class, diagramming sentences, etc! Dean, I know what you meant, but I see this group here at Parker Collectors, like my longtime breakfast group
.......we allow no quarter! Its half the fun. Everett day, I learn more, and have more fun here!

Thank You Sincerely to the Parker Peanut Gallery!

Mark shot the 10 bore today it's a cannon. You are finding out as I have this is a good bunch of guys you can be yourself with and that's what counts in my book. Dean and I have become friends even though we have yet to meet face to face. There are a number of them I met at the Southern SXS this year and was a pleasure for sure. You and I have got to get together before this season ends. Have a lull right now while my right eye due to diabetic retinopathy starts to clear. Has been a blur since Dec 5 but maybe 1-2 weeks to go and look out doves or whatever.

We all knew what he was attempting to say, right off, Jim, But heck, how often do you get a chance to heckle a real editor..

The first thing you want to do when trying barrels is to remove the hook from the barrel lug. Sometimes the hook will not disengage from the gun which was not made for the barrels being fitted, which presents quite a challenge.

Been There ,Done That , That's the best advice so far ! I was very fortunate ,the gun would still open just enough to get to the tiny bolt to remove it and then the gun popped open ! What a deal that was :eek: !
