Ouch, really tough luck Ray. I have seen this happen to two fluid steel guns, neither Parkers. It looks like there was good wall thickness.

Choices as I see them.
1. Cut the barrel ends back.
2. Find new barrels.
3. Sleeve the barrels.
4. See if somebody like Brileys could bend and weld the fractured end back then sleeve in a permanent choke tube that would give the weakened end strength.

GOOD LUCK.
