Hi, Brian. That's interesting to know. When I first saw the gun I was pretty ignorant about Parkers (the truth is, I still am). I just accepted it as an uncheckered stock. I wondered about the checkering later. I'm not disputing what you're saying, but there isn't even a hint of checkering on the stock now. Yes, the fore end is WELL below metal. It's a shame. I couldn't have judged the stock wrist, because it's such a massive shotgun anyway. But, yes, the trigger guard is proud of the wood, too. Thanks for pointing that out.
