Twenty Gauge 2 Barrel Set 30"
I noticed that CSMC has a 20 gauge repro with an additional 30" barrel set for sale on their website. They give no additional information on the 30" barrels but I thought someone might be interested enough to give them a call. I don't collect the reproductions but I know a lot of you do.

If they are indeed 30" long, I would have to believe they are not original Parker Reproduction barrels, but rather the aftermarket barrels supplied by CSMC years ago. There is no mention of a case in this listing:

To satisfy my curiosity, I inquired via GI about the originality of the 30" barrel set. I was informed that all stamps are as usually seen on Repros including both the left barrel legend and the S/N on the barrel flats, however; the choke stamps are missing. The listing says this 30" set is choked IMP.CYL/MOD. -- the same as the 26" set of this 2-bbl. set.
I was also informed the gun was put on hold while we were communicating. |
Has anyone ever seen a Repro with original 30" barrels? All I have seen are either 26 or 28, including the 12's. That was back when shorter barrels were the rage.
|
There have been reports that a few 30” barrels were supplied on Repros but that may have been limited to 12 gauge guns.

John Allen owned one. Steve Barnett website has a 12 gauge that claims to be original barrels. That is all I have known of, but I don't follow repros. I haven't seen any 20 gauge guns before the one that started this thread.
|
Although scarce we have seen a few Repro 12ga. 30" barrel sets. In fact, three or more have been shown and/or discussed in this and the For Sale forum previously, but this is the 1st 20ga. set to surface to my knowledge.

A friend told me he acquired a 12 gauge 30” Repro last year that was a two barrel set gun , but when he bought it only had the 30” in the two barrel case . He told me he was at the vintage cup a month or so later and found a set of 12 repro barrels for sale . Low and behold they had the matching serial number . So the set is back intact now .

I know of at least one (maybe the only one) Parker Repro 12 gauge Steel Shot Special with 32" barrels.

Craig, that was indeed a stroke of luck. I shot that 12 ga repro after he got it and was at the Vintagers when he found that 2nd barrel set. I dont recall the length of either. I was just over to see him a week ago.

When you blow up pic #2 and pic #6 both clearly show 2 3/4" on the barrel. Not sure if it is the 30" set or the 26" set. Red flag for me so I am interested to see how this plays out.

If only long barrels and double triggers were in when they were making Parker Reproductions....

20 gauge 30” barrels
Good morning folks, Parker Reproduction NEVER made 20 gauge 30” barrels. Also we never made 32” twelve gauge barrels. I did not get a response on these barrels and I want you all to be aware there are barrels from Parker gun works that are NOT Parker Reproduction barrels. I also don’t see a case for this gun and for collectors looking for correct Reproductions beware of guns that have 2 sets of barrels and no case. That being said if you have questions on a gun ask the guys on this forum as they are very knowledgeable on the Parker Reproduction guns. Thanks and hope this clears up the confusion. Richard Skeuse

I have seen a 32" 12 gauge. The barrels are original Parker Brothers or more likely Remington barrels, quite well fitted. Nice gun.
