The Repo 16 barrels were made by Krieghoff, at the request of Tom Skeuse. He owned Reagent Chemical and White Flyer Clay targets and was the man behind the Parker Reproductions. A flood at Reagent Chemical ruined many of the 16 gauge barrels, and relatively few ever made it into production. The barrels were fitted onto Parker Repro frames by Krieghoff at their facility in Ottsville, Pa. Although the article below says the barrels went to Krieghoff..Still, you rarely see a set for sale..

Another one...

Addition: CSMC made some 16 Gauge barrels for the reproduction. They had some fitting issues, and were not of the same quality as the Krieghoff barrels..
