View Full Version : Frame Size vs Fore Arm Size

I have just acquired a 12 gauge DH (1.5 frame) with 32 inch tubes. The gun has had little use: barrels have excellent little worn blue with pitless mirror bores, has case on most areas and is very tight with little evidence of much use.

Unfortunately, the wood has been replaced and needs to be replaced again: the new wood doesn't fit, is broken on both sides at head of butt stock--improperly seated/bedded and the fore end is a poor attempt to convert from a splinter to a beavertail.

Question: are Parker fore ends sized like the frames or is there a standard fore end size for several frame sizes?

The easiest way to answer that question is to refer to the measurement chart on page 527 of The Parker Story.
