Are the breech plug threads course?  If I remember correctly, the Paris barrels I have been exposed to all had course threads.

Dave.........this barrel is from their second go-round.   Up until we bought all their equipment, they only offered a 1/48"
twist.    They were also stampd "R. Paris & Son, Gettysburg, Pa."     This barrel should have only six (6) grooves, and the
machines are now owned by Colerain...............Don
