I was wiping guns down last night anyway, so it was no trouble. I measured 15 parkers and the rib extension on every one was 2 and 3/32". These ran the gamut from 24" to 30", but I didn't measure the actual ribs, because none of the barrels are off length. Best source might be Kirk Merrington. He may have the odd blown barrel. Are you looking for any particular barrel steel inscription?
I couldn't count the number of guns Ive restored, I'm 72 and been playing with them since I was 12. I have not, however, taken barrels apart with the intention of reassembling them.
