Help with identification of Parker bros 10ga

[Drew Hause]

If someone drilled holes in the breech end of the right chamber (and if to shoot 12g shells why not the left?), they would act as stress risers and in my opinion the gun is unsafe. If the barrel wall thicknesses are OK, Briley could possibly sleeve the chambers to 12g.

neither the barrel or breech was (drilled). My gun smith measured barrel thickness and the depth of pitting within the barrels themselves, and determined it is safe to shoot black powder loads. Although my 10 ga brass shots hells need some resizing. Going to call Dave later today to see if he wants to take a look and offer a second opinion. Thanks again to everyone for your interest and comments, all ls appreciated.
