Striking the Barrels on an Antique Parker Shotgun | MidwayUSA Gunsmithing
This video details the 'striking the barrels' process for an antique Parker shotgun, a crucial step before final polishing. It covers using 80-grit abrasive paper with a dowel for the top rib and sanding blocks for barrel surfaces, emphasizing lengthwise sanding from breech to muzzle. Deep pits are addressed with chalked smooth files to prevent scratching, and custom-ground files are used for precision work near the rib.
