Unusual barrels

[edgarspencer]

The barrels shown, which this thread started out discussing, are Parker made barrels, and the assumption is they were subsequently fitted by Remington, so why would that silly "dancing lion" be stamped on them. Your noted table indicates that mark is applied to export barrels for proofing.
I misspoke when I said Parker, Remington, and some other proof house, but I meant some other proof house proofing Parker barrels. The barrel flat photos you show are plainly not those of higher quality manufacture.

I'm sure you'll search out something to prove me wrong, complete with more acerbic responses, but I pay little notice to people who act like boorish prigs, who come on here and insult us as "nearsighted', and well respected members.

Nice respone Edgar, well respected is funny, tolerated is more acurate. The insults started with the kid that lives in his mothers basement and you jumped right in. Gentlemen admitt when they are wrong, others either try to change the subject or slink away. So far its 1 and 1. Have any other comments?
