Well I finally found a barrel maker that is willing to build my SxS slug gun. He has many years of experience in building Double rifles and slug guns. However, we are not using a Parker as a base as I had wanted.
He completely frowns upon using single bolted actions for rifle conversions, and said that it would be OK for a slugger. But if I am going to spend the money and him take the time to build the gun, then he would prefer it be something that is going to hold up and not be 100 year old steel. So I found me a nice Spanish Made triple bolted gun as a donor.
When we are done, I will have a 24" rifled 12g. slug gun with both iron sights and removable scope. And based on what he has shown me for accuracy on past guns he has built, it should be quite the deer slayer.
