I’d really like to find a set of 20 gauge top lever barrels for a 1 frame , preferably 30” but 28” would be okay as well . Of course choked M&F or F&F .

My GH with the 'composed' 20-gauge barrels is a bit heavier up front than with the 16-gauge barrels. I think the fact that the 20's are 28" and the 16's are 26" might have a little to do with it, but the wall thickness at the breech end of the 20's is sure a lot thicker than the 16's for the first 10 inches or so.

Also got this 2 barrel set back this week, my G. Forrester 2 barrel set 20 ga made in Kelso Scotland. It is truly a magic wand. 5 1/2 lbs with its 30" Damascus cyl/cyl, and 5 3/4 lbs with its 30 " cyl/f tube. Both are stamped Nitro proofed and 70 mm chambers. I killed 3 grouse with 3 right barrels, and somehow the left hammer fell off lost in a clear cut.
Dan Morgan, New Hampshire got me a new hammer from england, fitted it up and had it engraved.
May sound blasphemous, but the Parker would go before I'd ever get rid of this one. Now I need a couple 2 barrel cases.

The second set is fluid steel, and both have the same serial #. Very little info on the maker, he was more famous for his fly reels and spey rods.
