I truly appreciate everyone's input and I believe cutting the barrel is the best route for me. Is there anyone that can tell me what the "Kf" mark on the underside of the barrel flats means?

Kf is the stamp of the barrel inspector Walter King, son of the Parker Bros. Gun Works superintendant for roughly 30 years Charles A. King. So the "K" is for King and the "f" indicates 'finished'.

Because of the format of the "f", it more likely was an abbreviation for facit, Latin for "made it".
