Parker Rifled 12ga

[Jean Swanson]

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.
