Is it possible?
Is it possible to have a set of vulcan steel barrels fitted to an 1886 era hammer gun or are they just not compatible in design?

i think you will find the lugs are not comparable

The "Editors Gun" has a set of 30" Vulcan Steel barrels. It it a hammer gun.
It is a Grade-0 with the barrel limiting hook and pin and with a Grade-4 hammer on one side and a very closely matching Grade-5 hammer on the other side. The lug was modified considerably in order to for the barrels to the frame - so yes, it can be done... but it will be quite expensive. . |
Yes,it can be done and not that expensive. Contact Dave Fjelline
|
I just noticed the twist barrels have three bites (if thats what they are called) it would take some work to fit
|
That is correct. Call Dave Fjelline.

I have never seen a Parker Bro shot gun with three bites. Am I missing something.
|
No, the lug has three lumps, front to rear. One is the barrel hook, the next is the limiting hook, and the last or rearmost lump is the locking lug.
. |
It can be done.
To do it properly a check hook must be installed on the hammerless barrels and the lug modified appropriately so that a positive stop is had for the barrels. Some just like to cut the check pin out and call it a day which would lead to too much stress on the roll joint/forend. |
I might have called them bites, that would be the wrong nomenclature, it would be the lumps I was referring too.
