Default $125 Grade 10 Gauge Lifter

I had posted about this one a few weeks ago for informational purposes only and ended up “needing” it. It is a 10 gauge Grade 3($125 grade) with 28” Laminated steel barrels(these have a “P” stamp and actually measure 28 3/8”). The Parker Story lists only 2 10 Gauge Grade 3 Lifters with 28” Laminated steel barrels. It’s on a #2 frame and weighs 8 ½ pounds. It has 2 5/8” chambers, I have a few lifters for the short, short 10 like that and already have some reloads ready.

These pictures don’t do it justice, but I had to take a few quick ones and share. Look at the receiver, could this have been nickel plated? It doesn’t mention it in the letter, but it looks like there is case coloring under that silver finish on the bottom of the receiver.

The gun is very well balanced, it doesn’t feel like a 10 gauge.

I will post the letter and something mentioned that is quite interesting below.
