Default LGS Parker

Saw an interesting gun at the LGS. Asking $4,500. What do you think?

12ga, D-grade, 32in barrels F/F, straight stock, double triggers, BTFE, 2 frame 8lb 4oz

14in LOP over vintage pad, 2.5 dah, screws good, on face, barrels ring nicely, good case color, small chips at rear of fore end, ding in drop point, some scratches (discoloration) in barrel blue.

I like it as it’s configured just like a 12ga SS Repro I have..

Brett

Looks to have had some work over the years. The forearm isn't correct. Barrels have been re-blued and the case colors have been re-done as well imho. But pics can be misleading.

Thanks, great to have input here. Is it possible to find a forearm? I might still be interested at the right price..

It would be interesting to see who the original owner of that one was.

Case colors look original to me.

What we can see of the forend looks original to me but may have had the checkering recut.

Looks like a pretty decent gun to me. If it fit me and I liked it, I’d probably go home with it.

I'd like to see the whole forend; looks like it comes almost straight out ahead of the action. Looks weird to me but what do I know?

The forend is completely right. It is a nice gun.
