Thank You Drew. Page 503 and 504 of the "Parker Story" talks of Remington possibly making the decarbonized barrels for Parker. A little later Parker changed the name to Plain Steel as Remington was using the name "Decarbonized" on their newly introduced double gun.
Also the authors believe that the "Gun Iron"barrels were made from surplus musket barrels being first used in the"Charles Parker Makers"guns and then carried over to the "Parker Bros" guns for a short time.
Drew...Thanks again for all your research.
