I inherited a parker vh grade o frame 20ga. shotgun.The barrels are badly pitted.There is a really bad spot about eight inches from the barrel on the right barrel.I think it is to deep and the walls to thin to back-bore them.the barrel is showing waves on the outside over the pit.What can i do about this.Is it going to be safe to shoot.Where can i find a new set of barrels or who could redo this set.Thanks for the help.

Steve Bertram can get them Teague Lined in England for about $2400, or someone like Kirk Merrington or Briley can sleeve new tubes in for not a whole lot less. Maybe an old pair will show up that can be fitted. Sometimes they're just worn out...Geo

Teague's lining twenty bores now?? That's news...
If the barrels can't be repaired by an expert like Merrington I would hold out for a set of original barrels in good condition though it will be a bit of a wait as there aren't a whole bunch of them for sale - anyway, it would certainly be cheaper than to have yours sleeved.

Because the cost of the equipment is prohibitive, UK nitro proof comes with the service and the technology is proprietary. I would love to do the work myself but these factors require I ship the guns out to get it done.

Call Simmons at 913-782-3131. They are now beginning to make barrels for Parkers and are completing a run of "O" frame sets now. $2,800 fitted to your gun with lengths up to 34".

SKB - did I read that right? The cost has gone from 2200, to 2400 when they were sent direct to Teague, but now to 4100? That's a heck of a jump!

Hello
You can also have Briley full length tubes fit for 28 and 410 and shoot it that way. Lots cheaper and makes the gun usable
