But, I will tell you that in my opinion they are aftermarket replacement barrels.
Aftermarket as in not even steel parker barrels from perhaps a later gun ? I emailed them asking for more details .

Seems like it would require alot of effort to mate a set of barrels from a different brand of sxs or have a set made . Instead of just sleeving the originals . I wonder how that's even done , cut the lugs off the originals and tig them to a different set of barrels then hand fit them ?

So at best we have a Frankenstein gun here .

Now you got me curious if anyone has tried to take a set of barrels off one of those Spanish 10 gauges and mate them to a parkers lol not sure how that would even be possible .

I don't have anything against such guns if it takes a bit of frankenparkering them to keep them from the scrap bin and in the field . The question I have though is why not just sleeve the original barrel set if they are that far gone .
