I'm not one of the experts here so I won't argue the sleeving issue. I do know value is reduced, and I know I don't fear shooting sleeved barrels.
That said, the only way I'll ever own an H&H or Purdey is to find a sleever I can afford. Anybody has one for sale, feel free to share the details with me...Geo
P.S.: I did own a Boss gun once that I considered sleeving, but the cognoscenti here convinced me it would make a better tomato stake.

Do you, in some sick way, enjoy torturing the readers here with your constant butchering of the English language? I am trying to figure out why you persist in this asinine practice, but I honestly cannot. No one, with any reasoning ability at all, would think that anybody here enjoys your childish grammar. So ............ why? Can you even explain it yourself? SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

My only reason to consider sleeving is sentimental. I was close to my father in law and he left me two family heirloom guns, a nice Savage model 99 300 savage that he bought in 1952, and his grandfathers Parker GH 12 ga that by serial number is the earliest year Parker did hammerless. Both guns had been wrapped in canvas and stored in Rustys Santa Cruz California crawlspace for 30-40 years as Rustys wife didnt like guns in the house. The Parker was in such bad shape that the stock was totally grayed out, I couldnt see any grain at all.
My neighbor for 20 years until he passed was Larry Baer (sp?), a pretty good expert on Parker guns. The Damascus barrel were very pitted, funny in that Rusty was shooting ducks and pheasants with it thru the 60s into the 70s, using store bought high base loads without a thought. Anyway, I refinished the stock myself, the walnut was spectacular for a G grade gun. Larry re-engraved and color case hardened the receiver, but as yet I havent done a thing to the barrels.
I dont care about collector value as the gun was so shot to begin with and I plan on giving it to Rustys grandson to keep it in the family. It would be nice to make it shootable again, hence my interest in sleeving.

I would think a set of sub gauge, full length tubes would make a lot more sense for your FILs Parker. You would end up using factory 20 gauge ammunition in it.
Contact Brileys.
What became of the model 99? Very useful gun and cartridge.
Best,
Ted

Ted Thanks, that was my first thought, but for some reason this gun weighs a ton already, almost nine pounds. The barrels are marked 4-4, four pounds four oz, and its a #2 frame, regardless it feels super heavy as is. The 99 was in much better condition and I shoot a deer with it every few years or so in honor of Rusty. Its the old model with the bronze rotary magazine and Rusty had installed a Lyman peep sight which works perfect.
