Where have you posted these pictures you refer to? OK, I found them. They are in the albums section of this website. What you have is a pair of steel Savage Fourtenners as I earlier described. As you can tell from your pictures from the muzzle of the gun, the muzzles of the Fourtenners are flared so that any dowel or tool you use to push them out has to be very close to the diameter of the 12 gauge barrels. They may push out easily or they may be stuck and be harder to remove. You will want to get them out to properly evaluate the bores of your gun. Additionally, the Savage tubes have value by themselves. Let us know how much luck you have getting the tubes out. I still think you should contact Mr. Akins to assist you if you are at a loss about how to proceed. You don't want to scratch the bores of your Parker with an improper "pusher". A close fitting wooden dowel if the safest tool to use. Sometimes a light tap will dislodge the insert, sometimes a heavier push is needed.
