Parker BHE barrel and water table original?

[Larry the Gun Guy]

That's another gun that's been totally messed with. It does have a Remington repair code on the barrel flats, so the barrels are probably a Remington era replacement. At $5 grand that may be a good shooter. You just have to convince the next guy that that's the case when you decide to sell it.

Is Larry's picture a picture of the original poster's gun or some other gun?

[Larry the Gun Guy]

Here are a few other pictures BILL.

Did you see a Remington code stamped on the right barrel flat close to the lug?

Yes, It looks like A D 3 to me. I didn’t put the three in there because that’s usually a given for that department.

Yes, and then some. It sounds like a gun which went to Remington and was fitted with Grade 3 barrels. The fit at the dolls head is quite good and the rib extension joint isn't any worse than a lot of guns out there.

And the roll pin has been reversed, probably for wear. And you can see the plugged hole in the bottom rib.

[B. Dudley]

The roll pin being flipped has nothing to do with wear. It is wholly someone putting it together that did not pay attention.

Without the service code 3 that is probably a build date on those barrels.

I would like to know where the pictures that have been posted came from. I gave up trying to send mine. This is absolutely the gun I bought. Was this gun on some website for sale before I got it? Also as a novice and not a gunsmith, the discussions about the roll pin are like Greek to me. I have noticed that the fore-end is difficult to remove and put back on. Could this be attributed to the roll pin? Should I have that repaired?
