With one of my Win. 21s 12 ga. I have a second set of barrels marked Atlas Arms, Chicago, IL. On the side of one barrel it says "Made in Italy". Does anyone know the history of these? Do you know which manufacturer in Italy actually produced them?

Thank you.

Steve Tasitritsis 'ATLAS ARMS', 2704 N Central, Chicago and (later) 7952 Waukegan Rd. Niles, Illinois offered replacement barrels for Smith and Parker guns in the 50s and 60s using tubes made by Vickers (England) and fit and finished by Armaf in Belgium. A Smith recently turned up with barrels by Armi Sarezzo in Italy.

I had a great uncle in California who had a Park VH in 20 gauge. He ended up getting the barrels replaced by Atlas
Arms, as they had blown out at the muzzles. Real nice work. Does anyone have any old catalogs by Atlas Arms? I seem to remember he imported side bys and over and unders. Real nice guns for the money.

Some Atlas barrels are better than others. The fitting is also all over the map.
