Jay, can we presume it's a Parker?

Can we presume it has fluid-pressed steel barrels?

There are orphaned barrels out there and some guys have had some pretty good luck fitting such orphaned barrels to their guns.

Damascus barrels; the reason for the fuss. It would have to be s really special fluid steel gun for me to give one with pitted barrels a second look.

Briley tubes are the best alternative and you don't have to do anything to your barrels to prepare, except to clean them. .410 Brileys are a bit more robust than the 28s, especially the extractors. Make sure Briley bores the .410 chambers to 3". Discount through most gun clubs and many retailers.
