kevin: thank you for your input re the runges.


"So far as the "VH-GH" conundrum goes - clearly a re-barreled gun for whatever the reason. " please do join in the new thread. barrel stamps and research letter seem to support likelihood that barrels are factory original.

Mr. Romig that does make sense but the barrels are fit so poorly and in such an unworkmanlike manner. I can't imagine that a Parker or Remington employee did that work. Is it possible that in the past some rascal that knew the Parker repair date codes and the date of the gun's manufacture added the date codes to the water table to add to the value of the gun? I can't imagine that the Remington shop let this gun out with this poor of a fit:



Compare that to the fit of this gun:


I think the case colors on the lower gun are "aftermarket" by the way.

In the lower gun can you see how the "bead line" on the bottom of the barrels flows into the line between the ball and the flat of the reciever? That is standard. On the top gun the beadline slopes down and away from the ball/flat line and misses it by probably an 1/8".

Also it appears to me that the barrel breech extends beyond the ball down low. That the barrel breech sticks out to the side, but just on the bottom.
