I just weighed the old girl and she came in right at 8 lbs. The "Parker Gun Identification & Serialization" book has the gun listed as "ST"- Lower Grade Gun with Stub Twist Barrels, 849 total guns. Also "Capped Pistol Grip" and 30" barrels. All of these identifying features are present. I measured the bores at .724 and .729 at the muzzle, not exactly tight, we could say "Quail#1 and Quail#2. I'll pattern the gun with #7's, perhaps this weekend at 35 yards and count holes in a 36" circle. I'll wager to say 25 yards will look better...Ha Ha

Bruce, It probably has a bore diameter close to .750. That would leave a nice mod or light full.

Holeshot, I noticed when pushing a mop through the bores there is considerable constriction the last 2" or so. I've been cleaning the bores for days using rubbing compound, "Hoppe's", and "Brasso", all by hand. It seems like the "black" will never end, though considerably less now. I must be careful not to ware the bores too thin! To the touch the bores are smoother than a baby's butt. For a finishing touch I rubbed "Watco" Danish Oil on the barrels exterior and left it for a few hours and wiped off any extra. The front sight bead was ivory but unfortunately has been broken off. It has a very small ivory mid bead so I can still line up the target using the mid bead and the remaining front sight base. I'll not attempt to replace the front sight bead myself. I'll probably end up shipping the barrels somewhere for that task. Thank you all for your kind and helpful replies.
