To answer your initial question about the Vickers barrels,they are heavy and poorly struck. I have a 16ga.with a 2nd set of Vickers 20ga.barrels.They change the handling qualities of the gun in a dramatic way.With the original 16ga.barrels the gun balances dead on the hinge pin.With the Vickers barrels it is front heavy to the point of being difficult to mount smoothly.
