Chad:
To answer your question, yes. The bulges seem small enough to be correctable. But a GOOD barrel man will have to do the work. Best in the US is Kirk Merrington -- but he's a bit ill right now. You might try Abe Chaber or Brad Bachelder.
But it all comes down to how much the gun is worth to YOU. Repair of the bulges will require a hone and barrel refinish... about $350+. That plus the cost of the barrel work itself. You simply have to check into it.
But it would be a shame to "scrap" an otherwise savable Parker for an ill that can be fixed.
Best, Kensal
