i got this far before saying "what???"
"the Parker Gun Company began as a wartime effort, manufacturing repeating rifles during the Civil War"
the Parker Snow was a rifled musket
unless he is referring to the Triplett and Scott from the Meriden MFG Co.
i have seen and handled several early back actions with decarbonized barrels-
"They were Damascus steel barreled, pinfire, hammer guns" any one have one of these?
