I'm curious Fred, how you came by a PGCA roster without being a PGCA Member ?

Dean he might have meant the list of forum members.
I think it would be easier to find another set of barrels. You might call Batchelder's in Grand Rapids MI.

Sounds like quite an endeavor Fred. I have been racking my brain and looking thru my old files for the email of a guy who is always buying old guns, parts, barrels, etc--perhaps he may have what you need. I'll keep looki ng

You could also try Phillip Cote from Double Gun Journal. He might have a barrel set or rib.

Well, I find old Parkers that have been neglected and need restoration. The reason I'm going to sleeve, Rib and reblue this set of barrels is they are from an O frame G grade gun and when I'm finished I will have a two barrel set 20 and 28ga. exhibition English walnut stocked and like new metalwork. Thank you

These ran the gamut from 24" to 30", but I didn't measure the actual ribs, because none of the barrels are off length. Best source might be Kirk Merrington. He may have the odd blown barrel. Are you looking for any particular barrel steel inscription?
I couldn't count the number of guns Ive restored, I'm 72 and been playing with them since I was 12. I have not, however, taken barrels apart with the intention of reassembling them.

Hallelujah!!! Kirk had a rib so the search is over. Thank you Edgar for pointing me in Mr. Merrington direction.

Thanks Harold, I found a rib. Now the fun starts. Thanks Fred

[Harold Pickens]

Sounds like a worthy endeavor Fred, are you doing a lot of the work yourself?
WAs just going to make a phone call to see about finding a rib--glad you found one.
In regards to Edgar, he reminds me of the Dos Equis man--the most interesting man in the world.
Post some pictures of your project as you go along.
What part of the country do you call home?
