Parker Reproduction SS Special
I have a Parker Reproduction Steel Shot Special purchased about 25 years ago. 12 gauge 28" I/M. One of the barrels was damaged by a defective shell and has a bulge near the muzzle. Assuming this is not reparable, are replacement barrels available?

Your chances of finding a set of “SS” serial numbered barrels is lower than finding a needle in a haystack. Although not unheard of as I recall a set which became available and sold several years ago from a west coast dealer. Your chances of finding a set of 28” barrels w/o the “SS” as part of the serial number is much better and if you could live with a set of 26” barrels even better yet — in fact twenty-six inchers are available for purchase right now.

Thanks! Guess my preference would be 28" without the SS. Any idea what that would run if available? How about the 26" that is currently available? Thanks!

I would think ~$1800 would be a fair price on a set of 28” bbls. Because 26” barrels are not in favor today and thus, not as desirable, I would hope to pay a few to several hundred less than that.
Here’s one set of a few other 12ga. 26” Repro barrels that are currently listed on GI, this set has an ask of $1800, but has wording within the listing to make an offer: https://www.gunsinternational.com/gu...n_id=102850769 |
Forearm screws loose
The 2 end screws on my 12 gauge steel shot special splinter forearm keep loosening after shooting and they don't seem to tighten up as I think they should. The forearm seems fine aside from this problem? Is there a fix for this? I am thinking of applying some non permanent glue before trying to screw them down.

Either the forend lock plate screws, or lock plate threads are stripped. Unscrew them & check the threads on both. If they are stripped Brian Dudley may have some replacements.

Thanks.
|
what about having the bbls shortened and threaded for choke tubes? feasable or not?
|
Barrels may be too thin to do choke tubes. Briley usally won't choke tube Parker barrels.
