Some 30 to 40 years back , I purchased a set of rifle barrel inserts that were 12 to 16 inches long that were marked PARKER . A collector friend wanted them more than me , so I sold them to him . I also owned an L C Smith and Lefever that had rifled barrels---since sold. I would say that the American shotgun makers of earlier days would more than likely produced guns with rifled barrels---but rare . Combo guns of Europe , etc. are common place.

If I remember correctly, there was a post on the old website of a Parker with one rifled barrel. The rifling was not cut into the bore, it looked more like it was formed with a button and you could see it on the outside of the barrels.

While in the gun store we had 2 GH guns with hexagon barrels. The guns looked like orig parker barrels, as the ribs looked original. I have never seen a Parker advertisement for rifled barrels, but the sky is the limit. the guns didn't have standard rifling, but there was a twist to the bores.

There were several of these sold at Julias seven or eight years ago, I still have a 12 gauge damascus G grade that has a hammer forged damascus barrel with a 3?4 twist in the hexagon barrel.
I have never heard of any others, so I have kept mine. A lummox at the storage dented the outside of the barrel so it is less than perfect, however these were don prior to the ribs being laid. |

The rifling runs the full length of the bore, and could not have been done without removing the barrel. I got this gun from Oscar Gaddys collection some time ago. Strange indeed, and when I asked about it, Julias said they had sold 2 of them.

We did not measure OD when we looked at it because we did not have calipers. iD was nominal for the gauge and was one of the indicators we used to conclude that the barrels were as done by Parker. Frame size 1 1/2
I do not recall the exact ID as it did not seem to be significant. |
