I will have to look into that sounds really interesting .
I once tried to get a sxs builder to make me a set of 8 gauge barrels for a 10 ga frame . He was totally against the idea , But I knew another gunsmith who used to bore out single barrel 10 gauges to 8 gauge and he proof tested them to about 22k psi .Using modern steel barrels of course .

This to me is what makes parkers the most interesting american sxs shotgun brand . All the different frame and gauge combinations they made .

I know some sxs makers today still offer bigger gauge to frames setups .
Like 16 ga on a 20 ga frame . wonder if anyone has built a 28 ga on a 410 frame ?

How rare are the tens that were built on the #6 frames ?
