CParker, do you have a set of .410 tubes? I didn't think so.

I wouldn't buy a set made for an original Parker given the variations over 60+ years. But I think the Repros will be much less likely to have fit issues.

Joe B - as per my post, they assured me the barrels would fit the forend. If they are lying, with God as my witness, I have little doubt Zeus will strike them down with a bolt of lightning from high on Mount Olympus. If he doesn't, I can always fly to Connecticut with a pair of Vise-Grip pliers and remove the liar's appendages.

$1800 represents about 3-1/2 months worth of electric bills here in Texas in the summer. Maybe I'll just turn off the AC and sweat for 3 months to make it up.
