My Dad didn't know much about a shotgun but always relayed to me that his Dad always referred with reverence to his E Grade Lefever pigeon gun as having "soft barrels". When I received the gun from my uncle about 1958, my Dad never said anything about not firing it with modern shells, only that I should be careful with it in the field, lest I dent the soft barrels. My Grandfather apparently owned many guns, but shot the Lefever almost exclusively until his death in 1929.

Bruce, I can only dream about owning a Parker like that. Beautiful!
Bill, you talk about "soft barrels", and it does seem like every Parker I've looked at that has dents is damascus, not fluid steel. Are they truely softer and if so why, assuming the wall thickness is the same. I would guess it's the iron content of the damascus? |
