Late Lifter 12ga. 3-Frame

[Jay Oliver]

Hello Everyone,

This is my first lifter of the year. A later production 12 gauge lifter with 32” twist barrels on a 3 frame, serial #77463. According to the PGCA letter the weight of the gun is 10lbs. and it is choked 200 pellets in a 24” circle at 45 yards in both barrels.

The gun could use some TLC, all the screws are nice though, the barrels have some pitting, but I have seen worse, and they should clean up some with honing/polishing.

I knew this gun was late for a lifter, but not the latest and spent some time looking through the serialization book. I know there are a few later lifters recorded as hammerless so it is hard to know what is out there. I do think this gun might have the distinction of being the last lifter with a straight stock.

After going through the Serialization book I also found this post about late Lifters: http://parkerguns.org/forums/showthr...ighlight=77463

I was excited about this one and it added a new type of lifter to my collection.

Thanks,
Jay
