Bruce Is that rifling straight or is there a slight twist to it.

I know enough about ballistics not to make assumptions without testing, tables of results and proof.

Twist to cause rotation.

While in the gun store we had 2 GH guns with hexagon barrels. The guns looked like orig parker barrels, as the ribs looked original. I have never seen a Parker advertisement for rifled barrels, but the sky is the limit. the guns didn't have standard rifling, but there was a twist to the bores.

The rifling looks straight to me, no twist. Am I hallucinating?

It would surprise me not in the least to learn that Parker Brothers may have sent raw barrel tubes to another gun manufacturer expert in cutting rifling in barrels. Certainly Colt was not far away and Parker Brothers and Colt were certainly on "speaking" terms, having done business back and forth for a long time.

While at the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, WY I took pictures of a Parker hammer gun with rifled barrels.
