John Hosford had the tubes (very lucky there) there 28 inches so the same length. The barrels bulged beyond repair. He will cut them a little behind the chamber due to the damage. The downside is the gun will be a 2 1/2 chamber vs the original 2 3/4. The good news is I have a set of 28 inch barrels that were made by Purdy and he will fit those. It will end up a 2 barrel set one for 2 1/2 and the other 2 3/4 . The original ribs will be used for the sleeve job.

I had my bore mike set at the Rock Mountain's Northern SxS in July and Rich was kind to let me measure the bulges. I have the numbers here somewhere but haven’t been able to find them as yet, but I distinctly remember both chambers were uniformly bulged and within a few thou internal diameter of each other. Apparently both shells were loaded to the same pressure level.
A somewhat similar but happier incident happened with newly imported 28-gauge cartridges at Hausmann’s in June. As told to me by a Model 21 owner he stopped firing and returned the shells to the vendor when his 21 was hard to open |

Wonder what kind of pressure it would take to bulge them like that. I saw them at Rock Mtn., sad, that was a really nice little gun.

What is the suspicion?
Is the suspicion here that the cumulative effect of the doubling caused the bulging? Or the pressure of the individual shells?

I doubt it. The pressure would have to have been in one barrel, not two seperate barrels.

The gun doubled. The pressure was extremely high in the first barrel causing excessive recoil which caused the doubling. To see a Parker 28 with bulged barrels was enough to make a grown man cry.
