I am just saying the job he did on that 20 ga was very pleasant to the eye and much better than the sprayed on crap the gun came with.

Jay (or Brad),

Do you have a picture of the frame? I'm considering having this done but am not sure where best to send it.

You'll have to ask Brad to post a picture or send you one. I did not take one while I was there.

My 28" barrels "where" .017" and .035". :eek:
They are now .004" and .014" :rolleyes:

Dave,

Brad must have mis-read the short barrels. Sounds like my 28" barrels are pretty much "stock" so I have to assume the 26" barrels are, as well so they should be .004/.006 or .008. The 26" berrels work pretty well for me on the skeet fields - no reason to mess with them. This afternoon I talked with Emily, who works with Brad and Lori, and changed the re-choking to r= .008 and l=.018.

Jay, did you pattern your gun before you decided to have them done? I personally think on any old gun, before you get a hankering to change the chokes, you should go mic the barrels and then the chokes. Then go pattern all 4 barrels. You might find that you like what you have.
IMHO.

I just got back from a trip to the eastcoast today. I pulled out the Repro and looked. It's obvious the chambers are hardchromed. No coldblue testing is needed to see that. The muzzles don't appear to have hardchrome as described above.

Chuck, all Parker Repros had chrome lined barrels. In a conversation with Jack Skeuse years ago, I was told that this does not include the choke area, in order to make it easier to open the chokes.

True that, but it didn't sound to me like Chuck read it (how do you lose something you never had :rotf:?).
