About the only thing you can do is get the barrels and see how "close" they come to fitting your frame. This is the major issue. Some will turn right up. Others require the fitting service of and EXPERT. The closer your serial number comes to that of the barrels in question, the better luck you ought to have.

As for the ejector/extractor issue, you have two choices:

1) Use the ejector barrels with the ejector leaves non-functional and as extractors (which they should do). Or,

2) swap out the ejector leaves with your extractor in the "new" barrels.

Either way, this is basically a "do you feel lucky" issue. Parker barrel swaps are never a sure thing. And... if you are not a double gunsmith, chances are you should not mess with the fitting required.

This especially applies to the forend fitting -- which is a whole other issue.

Bottom line: if the new barrels are reasonable in price, it's still WAY cheaper than buying another Parker.
