I think you mean that the barrels were sleeved, not the chambers. The chambers/barrel flats remained twist but the barrels are now fluid steel with the original twist rib. Is that correct?
I've never heard of Parker stamping the flats with a full name, just initials. Who ever did the sleeving (outside source) would have been the person who's name is on the flats and also put the 3" chambers on the flats too. That's my take on it. Others may disagree. |

Chuck,
The only area sleeved are the chambers to accept 3" 20 ga shells. The 30" barrels are fine steel and are perfectly blued.. The gun is a real shooter..perfect for doves and Sporting Clays. The 8 pound weight and the long barrels swing as well as any gun I have shot. Whoever did the work was a master.You can not find a seam where the barrels join the receiver blocks...It is a mystery.. |

Bill, Do you mean 12 ga bores with 20 ga chambers?

Good question Leighton: Does it really still have the 12ga bores but 20ga chambers??? Seem very unlikely and very odd if so.

Chambers are the original 12 ga chambers sleeved to accept 20 ga 3" shells.Original twist 12 ga barrels have been replaced with fluid steel 20 ga barrels.They are not sleeved barrels.Gun work is imaculate.
