Weren't the early back action guns from musket barrels ? Remington coined the term decarbonized barrels when they went to making barrels from a 2" round by 9" long one piece of steel with a 3/4" hole. It was rolled out to a barrel with no welded seam. I believe Parker may have used them for a short period of time. Remington was known for making rifle barrels for anyone all over the world. They were the ones who figgered out how to make barrels without welding them togeather along the entire length. When they went to making shotguns they advertized their barrels as being able to bend back over double without breaking. I had a 1873 Remington hammer lifter with decarbonized barrels that I shot all the time. I would have no second thoughts about shooting one again. Paul
