I just recently purchased a set of Damascus #1 frame 12 gauge 30" barrels. Came from a Gunbroker auction. Just thought it'd be an interesting project. Barrels have arrived and they're in very nice untouched condition. Of the three Parker's I have in that frame
size they're almost perfect for one of them and thankfully about one or two thousandths oversize, even in the dolls head. Heading to the gunsmith (a good one) next week. Then off for a new B&W finish, which I think I'll age down a bit. Have absolutely no "need" for them but think it'll be fun. No way I'll ever recover what the final price will be but what the heck!
