If memory serves me correctly (thats a big IF) there was a PP artical on rifled barrels. It might have been Double Gun Journal also. I know I read about these somewhere.

Sure would be nice to reread whatever article about the rifled CHE. I don't remember whether the records on this gun were ever shared. How about that, James? Is there any documentation on the barrels? An early owner, maybe the original purchaser, was fellow Marylander Dr. Robert Snavely. When I was just a pup, Doc Snavely probably shot the rifled barrels occasionally. However, he was more a Parker collector than one who insisted on shooting his treasures at game. He ran in some pretty fast Parker company. His two closest hunting and shooting companions had a couple of Invincibles in the closet, before much of anyone else had even seen an Invincible. Doc Snavely is the only person I have met face to face whose name is actually posted in a Parker Brothers order book. I found our "home town boy" in an order book when copying the Parker Brothers records at Ilion in 1998.
