I believe the ad you posted was for the second offering for repro barrels. There were two separate offerings over the years with the first one being only for 16ga barrels. If I remember correctly, they were $1300.00, My set is from the first offering and are choked I/C-Mod from the factory & didn't have to be special ordered for those constrictions.

I stand corrected again. The barrels I bought from Galazan were choked M/F and were 28” long.

You’re likely right, Paul. After you mentioning this, I seem to recall that offering as well, but wasn’t sure if I was misremembering or not, so I posted the info of what I had.

It appears that the CSMC Parker Reproduction and original Parker repro barrels had undergone some significant price increases in just a few short years. Paul seems to recall the very first offering of CSMC 16ga. Repro barrels were priced at $1300. Then they went to $1895.00, then $3995.00 and finally $4800.00 with the orig. Parker repro barrels significantly higher. The pricing below was listed in and taken from Galazan catalogs 16,17 & 18. The inflation we've experienced lately hasn't been just a recent phenomenon, eh?

I an assuming these barrels are no longer available? Wish I knew about it when they were.
