I haven't personally had a set of Repro barrels fitted to an original Parker Bros. gun, but a Parker Reproductions Price List from 1988 says they were available.

The radius at the lower rear of the Repro is said to be different from the originals. Fitting them is problematic according to a number of people I know who have tried.

There was a DGJ article about a guy who had Repro barrels installed on what I remember to have been a G Grade hammerless gun. The details are lost in space.

Russ,
I sold a set of 12 ga. repro barrels to a gun shop in Darlington SC, it was Darlington Gun Works I think. I asked him what he was going to do with them, he told me they regularly fit them to original Parkers in need. Might give them a call and pick their brains.

I've had "repro" Galazan barrels fitted to an original VH Parker. The most problematic area was the loop base. It was about 1/8 inch too high to work with an original forearm. Milling it down fixed things.

Best, Kensal.

A word of caution... Before attempting to fit Repro barrels to an original Parker or any barrels from one Parker to another, be it an original or Repro Remove The Cocking Hook From The Barrel Lug First!!

Somehow I knew you would have some snyde remark about that unfortunate (and costly) incident... I just didn't think you'd pounce on it quite so quickly
