Thanks Dean: Thread is 3 pages back. Read it and the links. Appears there is an 18 month period where barrels were made. One assumes, if made, they also were put into production of a totally made in USA gun. Fairly rare in any event. Not being a student of the barrel making process, the big surprise to me was the barrel source for Parker was Belgium. Obviously, they were capable barrel makers. What is the history behind the disparaging JABC reference (Just Another Belgian Clunker) Were there a lot of el-cheapo guns built there? Were there equally many decent guns built there that suffer by association to "clunkers"?
Cheers,
Jack
