That one is very tempting. Like Charlie, I have a few too many irons in the fire, but hope somebody here gets it.

Or they could just shoot and enjoy it for what it is. I wonder what the overall weight is, guessing 9lb + with a barrel weight stamp of 5 2. I suspect every 3 frame 12ga was ordered and the customer requested a weight that needed a 3 frame to achieve.

A 9lb 12ga does tame the recoil of 1 1/4 ounce loads.

Did anyone on here get it?

I bid on it, and then had to take a phone call and missed it. Should have bid higher.

I'm not sure if this is relevant to the topic, but I was recently quoted $2000 for a new stock by Jerry Andrews. My understanding is that he would be supplying the blank at that price. The gun I was asking about is a G grade, if that matters. Jerry promised all measurements would be to Parker specs. What he actually said was "about $2000". I only post this in case anyone is looking for someone to produce a stock for their Parker. I've never had Mr. Andrews do any wood work for me, so I'm not vouching for him - just passing along his rough telephone estimate. Jerry is also a member of PGCA.

Im going to guess 9lbs 4oz as mine in exactly 9lbs 8oz and my barrels are 5lbs 6oz. Assuming ejectors and extracters weigh about the same.

I purchased the gun on GB but of course do not have it yet. It will be sent to my place in CO and my brother will bring it to me around the 1st of April. I will then take some photos and let the experts on the forum take a look at it and give opinions. I am still curious as to the dimples in odd places but hope they aren't too bad whatever they are. I am assuming (we all know how that goes) they are minor dents.

My plan with the 3 frame 12 gauge is to possibly at a later time find some 10 gauge barrels for it. Are they fairly common in good shooting condition?

Charlie thanks for letting me know via the forum about the auction on GB.
