We assume you're talking about the 28" .410 barrel sets to go on 00-frame 28-ga. Repros. If so, congratulations, as it's been quite the wait, eh?
How does your existing gun's forend fit with the .410 barrels aboard, is there a noticeable gap between the forend wood and the barrels themselves? What's the difference in weight between the .410 and 28-ga. barrels? Does the rib matting and barrel band of engraving at the breech end match your 28-ga. barrels?

I have sent them off, the top rib looks great, my only concern is if the forend will fit snug after fittin or will i have to fit a little duck tape shem on the under side of the barrels as i had to due with some 28 ga barrels on a 686 Beretta to make them snug. my opinion any add on will not be factory perfect like a Purdy

Parker repro .410 Barells by CSC will be in my office again tomorrow after being fitted, Gunsmith Schwarz said he can not believe the quality, will give complete details after delivery.

Pat, Post up some pictures if you get a chance. I am sure we would like to see them.

Priority mail said Friday from USPS, no show, no wonder the gov is loosing business to UPS, at least if the tracking shows delivery is on the way it is delivered

PPD,
Congratulations! I'm waiting for the 410 barrels too. It'll save me 7-8 thousand if they come soon, just in gun acquistion costs while waiting.

Barrels came back after being fitted, they fit just like factory built, the rib is wide like the 28 ga barrels and it almost balances on the hinge pin. I wish I could take better pictures, but even the most ticky Parker collector would want to have these. I am well satisfied

PDD,
Great! I'm itching for mine. I hunt more with .410s than my other gauge guns combined. My plan is to have my vintage Parker extra ejector forend iron fitted and a small BTFE made.

When you said "... almost balances on the hinge pin." was it forward slightly or aft? And can you give a weight on the .410 barrels?

[Wild Skies]

How's the fit around the forend? Can you post pics of that as well as views looking at the muzzles and bottom rib?

TIA,
