Of you want a long barreled gun, you are better off using the ribs from that set of barrels and building a new set via sleeving construction using another monoblock. The breech on that barrel set looked absolutely hammered.

Brian, yes ,they have been beat on with a vengeance. Just trying to figure how to salvage those 34" barrels, other than use them for tomato stakes.

Sleeving would be a way to keep the 34" barrels , actually you could sleeve them even longer if you wanted .

I was reading a article recently about barrel sleeving in England . The author said that they will sleeve barrels for clients who have been cut off and want them brought back to their original length , or clients who want longer barrels .

My primary thought at this point is... why bother?

Exactly. If they're no longer an original set of Parker barrels, what's the point?

These things are called money pits for a reason.

Sorry, but it's a parts gun, sell off the parts, someone may want the barrels for the ribs and be done with it.

Just messing around today, 90° plus outside. Snap those 34-inch barrels on my other 16 gauge hammer gun. You can see the Gap at the face almost two mm at the bottom. Sure would be fun to swing those 34s on some sporting clays targets. really missed going to Ernie's and then southern this year was hoping to get some ideas, I've had people inquire about the barrels but I'm not ready to get rid of them yet. If I make it to rock mountain or the Vintagers, I will be sure and bring it with me.
