Kind of what I expected. Going to have the barrels re-browned as they are currently in the white. Forend checkering is real thin, but easy to correct. Nice wood, pretty engraving, perfect hard rubber DHBP and wonderful dynamic balance. A keeper. Hope to shoot it at vintagers. Thinking about loading up brass shells. Anyone ever done so?

Next comes time to take the NR Davis 10ga hammer gun out and see how it does. Also 1890. Heavy and slow compared to Parker, but well enough built, great condition and will be fun if I can find some smokey Black Powder shells.

Thank you to all for re-assurance.

Greg

William: any difference in sound between the two barrels should be carefully evaluated, esp. for a bulge.

Greg: reassurance is more...uh...reassuring when based on what is measurable. What, exactly, is 'plenty' of wall thickness? What is the length of the chambers? What are the full length bores measurements ie. is there any evidence of a bulge?

Not trying to be negative; just hope to help prevent on of these
