Dean and John : Here are some pix of my 16 gage hammer gun barrels. There are no "weep" holes to drain a boiling water stop on a recolor job. The markings on the barrel flats are sharp, clear, and slightly raised as are those on the Parker, Meriden, twist, roll stamping. The barrels are 30" with the usual 1/8" gap at the end and ring like a church bell. The bores are unfortunately rough but are original size and wall thickness of .036/.038 and choked full and full. There are a couple dents near the muzzles that look like a punch mark not an indentation that could be raised by a dent remover. What do you think guys, original maybe or a great refinish of old sometime? Happy hammer gunning! Lee.
