Simmons Barrels

[C grade]

Good Morning from Sanford
I met with the Simmons folks and they have agreed to manufacture new HG barrels. To convince them to start this required I place an order for five O frame barrels of which I did,. If you want one of these please contact me ASAP.I only want one and the rest are available for my cost, $2,800 fitted to you gun. The first one,mine, should be started June 1st with one a month after that.

Did anyone see a set of his Parker hammarless barrels and photograph them so the pics can be posted here?

Dean,
Mr. Wright and his head gun repair man arrived around 2:00 pm on Friday and I brought him over to the PGCA tent were he spent the next couple of hours discussing their companies capabilities as well as discovering the needs and wants of our members. They were then dragged of to speak at the Smith meeting and to dinner with their group at the Flame. I am sure between Friday and all day Saturday enough information was gathered and perhaps some pictures were taken and could be shared here for those that couldn't attend. I did note that they also had a bag with ejector parts they are making for Parkers. There ad will be in the next Parker Pages along with their capabilities and contact info.

Thanks for the detailed report Larry.

I hope you and Deb had a good week of R&R and chasing the little white ball all over the place.

I'll call you.

I talked to Jim Wright owner at Simmons at the Smith dinner and again on Saturday at the Southern SXS and he told me if I sent my 16ga O-frame money pit in now it would be most likely be returned starting in September. I am leaning toward a nice set of 30" 28ga tubes

While I did not see a full set of barrels he did show me a rib sample and the barrels mono block example. The rib I saw was was fully matted in the Parker style and was very nice, but he could duplicate the parker style with even the correct writing for that matter or put anything you deisred on the rib.

Sorry no pics I was just to dang busy shooting

Look for their ad in the next Parker pages I have a full copy if anybody wants a copy let me know and I'll see what I can do.
