Hi Tim,

Acme Steel barrels were provided on C and higher Grade guns. The "book" may be wrong but Grade 4 barrels on a Grade 2 gun is not likely. It was probably rebarreled and maybe at Parker. Good photos of the barrel flats may reveal a repair code. High quality photos of the action and barrels may reveal much.

Depending on the price, with the higher grade barrels this gun may be a great buy!

Mark
