Gunbroker PHE 20 ga Parker # 330906492

I looked at the pics of this PHE and if I'm not mistaken, does it look like the barrels have been sleeved?

Allen, check post from a couple days ago on PHE 1892

Thanks George, I missed that one but agree with all the comments on that gun. What a mess. The seller has an obligation to full disclosure and didn't. Buyer beware

[Ed Blake]

Out of curiosity I checked the Gunbroker status. This gun is now up to $2,150 with less than an hour to go in the auction.

More people bidding on it. I can't imagine why. There must be something about it that really turns some people on.

If this one is selling for so much, then I can't imagine why the sleeved DH on there with the gold and fancy engraving has not sold. ??? Hummm

[BRDHNTR]

Maybe they're bidding on it because there's no reserve, and the wood probably looks good to the uninitiated (except upon close examination) and they don't realize its sleeved etc etc. Who knows...

What do you mean by "sleeved"? Are you refering to the barrels? I don't see anything in the photos. Guessing I don't know what I am looking for. Thanks

Gerald, if we're lookinbg at the same gun, there is a faint line around the barrels just about 3-4 inches forward of the breech end. THat would indicate the barrels have been sleeved,

sleeving is a process where the exisiting barrels are cut off ahead of the chamber area, after the ribs are saved if reusable. this mono block is opened up and a new set of tubes are inserted into the old piece and the ribs are relaid.

the joint is the line referred t above.

Looks like it sold for $2,125.00
