I had a set of #1 frame 16 gauge damascus barrels that fit right on a PH #1 framed 12 gauge with beat up Twist barrels. Having screwed this operation up on another Parker, I did remove the cocking hook and the barrels dropped right in. I was amazed. I swapped the cocking hooks with the Twist barrels and put the forend on and the gun cocked and I was able to remove the barrels. I was double barrel amazed. I had a set of #2 frame Damascus barrels that looked like they might work (after removing the cocking hook) on the frame of the sacrificed barrels for "Finding Out for Myself". I sent them to Brad Bachelder and what a job he did of fitting. Brad redid the Damascus as well. Can't wait to get it back from the stocker.
