Barrels ring upon firing?

Two possible causes:

1. Loose top or bottom ribs. Take the barrels off, suspend by your fingers from the lug and tap the barrels and ribs along their length with a pencil. If a rib is loose, Kirk Merrington in Texas can fix it. Loose ribs need to be attended to because the barrels could be rusted underneath.

2. It could be the top lever vibrating. That is common in Parkers, kind of characteristic, particularly in small gauges, and live with it.
