It is off face. It is also quite muzzle heavy. The barrels do seem to be too heavy to be 28 ga.

0 frame 28 ga barrels may seem heavy (it's all relative) but you'll appreciate it when you're swinging the gun.
I think that gun needs a visit to a good gunsmith, as I think the problem is not so much that the barrels are ' off face' as it is a problem that they were never fit correctly. (I suspect the gun was originally something other than a steel barrel 28 when it left the factory) The other possibility is the frame may be warped when it was re case hardened.

The gun has been sleevrd to 28ga. You can see the seem in the pic of just the barrel on the far right side above where part of the logo is displayed.

Man Wayne you got good eyes. I can just see the line on the right barrel but I would have missed if it if you hadn't spotted it.

Michael, Bill's advice may have stung a bit, but he's absolutely right. I'd get that gun back to the seller so fast the postman won't know what hit him.
The seller's pictures of the breach end are so blurry, no one would know from those shots that it has been sleeved, but two other shots, on close inspection surely look like it has. You will spend more money to make the gun mechanically right than you'll ever get out, and it's really an awful redo on top of all the other issues. I also hate to see anyone get burned, but most especially when it's their first Parker.

If you notice some of the photos are clear and some are not. Looks like he dilbrately tryed to hide certain features. You may have a problem. From the way he worded the discription it would be hard to say that he dilbratly miss lead anyone even though we all know he did. There is also nothing mentioned about a warrenty or a inspection. Good luck. I hope it works out for you.
