Thanks Bill. The answer is 'maybe, if you're lucky'. I was lucky enough to buy a set of 1916 Titanic 20 ga. ejector barrels that fit my 16 ga. 0-frame 1893 Damascus GHE like they were made for the gun. I was very lucky. It is extremely rare that this would happen. Often a set of barrels can be fitted to another gun by an expert machinist/gunsmith - Russ Bickel did this for me with my DH by fitting a set of Damascus barrels to it. Sometimes it can't be done at all without great expense. Maybe there was a great deal more hand fitting of a Parker than a Fox . . . I don't know.
