4 4 is probably the unstruck barrel weight of a 12 gauge gun. 4 pounds, 4 ounces.

A set of replacement barrels would be marked and numbered in the exact same manner as any barrel set put on a new gun.

Only discrepancy might be if the barrel steel types don't line up with what original steel type. Several guns that vame from factory with damascus got replaced with Vulcan.

My only other thought and not certain if any merit to it is that maybe some asked for new barrels based on new generation of barrels for modern powder use. Maybe its just me when I hear the word "cheaper" it has a sense of derogatory tone like it is something of less quality as opposed to just being less expensive. I get it may have less grade because it does not have scrollwork or inlay and hence less pricey. I don't know maybe I was thinking someone asking for Vulcan barrels might have been folks that were early adopters of the change. But as dean alluded to some of the change was forced. I think I do recall a thought at the time that damascus was tried and proven and some were slow to adapt to new fangled fluid steel. I guess it is somewhat the same as having barrels that are fixed choked as opposed to getting a gun with screw in chokes. |

I have 2 rebarreled by Parker and by Remington. The first was rebarreled by Parker in 1911 and letters to that fact. The 2nd. was rebarreled Remington in 1948 and has the repair codes to that effect. The Remington rebarrel was originally produced as a 12 ga with Damascus barrels and now has steel barrels that are 16 ga now on a #1 framed gun.The Remington barrel gun has the chokes marked o the flats; the gauge, grade, and shell length on the frame lug. Serial numbers match the frame numbers.

Craig, but the important thing about the Remington rebarrel is that those extra markings (choke, grade, chambers and gauge) is how Remington normally marked Parker barrels before production ended.
