Phil, I am interested in purchasing your skeet gun. I have a 20 and a .410 and am trying to complete my collection. I know it's hard, but I am trying my best.

[Dave You asked so here is the dope on my Skeet Gun Ser.# 237692 Barrels 26 In. RT. Barrel .014 choke .Left Barrel .009 choke. with over an inch of parallel after the chokes. The chokes are 1 1/4 inches long. they shoot card wads just so so, however they really come alive with modern one piece plastic wads. I do hunt birds with this gun as it patterns the way i Want for a bird gun. I shoot mostly hand loads, and it is effective to the limits of pellet energy. The trigger is faultless with light or heavy loads. Both barrels shoot to the point of aim. LOP 14 In. DAH 2 1/4 in. At the time of purchase, The stock was broken and in three Pieces, along with having two inches cut off the butt. The floor plate was also bent and damaged. I did the repairs in house and the gun has held up just fine. Pat shot Skeet Spring leagues at his local gun club with the gun one year. but I use the gun only for hunting.I also did fit a set of 32In. f&f VR rib barrels to the gun. so you can see it is a very versatile hunting gun.gun.URL=http://s911.photobucket.com/user/dlien40/media/DSCN0668_zpsveut9f3u.jpg.html][/URL]

Dave- how did you fit the VR barrels to a non-Vent rib receiver?
Can we see a close up where the dolls head is? Thanks

George
Sorry for being late with response. I took photos this Am left film with nice lady that develops them for me, then went rabbit hunting. We have a good supply of jack rabbits again.
The barrels came off from a DHE Parker that was from your neighborhood. They fit the gun without a lot of work. I took the barrels to the Vegas Gun Show twice and asked the east coast guys who they thought was responsibly for them. many said that they thought DelGrego, and or Frank Lefever, some said maybe a joint effort. Time line was late 50s early 60s???. Their story… MAYBE OUR MAN BILL MURPH WILL GIVE US HIS OPINION... . We could most likely bet a beer on what he says..I think that I have three or four good photos here.
The rib on these barrels tapers from .525 little over 1/2 In. to .280 just over 1/4 In. It is a REAL DELIGHT to look down them at a late season Pheasant with both barrels loaded with a good stiff load of hard lead #3s. The barrels shoot 60X40 and to the point of aim. The .030 chokes likes big shot and pattern well.
