The only thing I would do is replace the adjustable pad with a period correct Silvers pad.
That's a nice gun with a good bit of family history.

Assuming both need to be in the locked position? I haven't touched a screw driver to the gun. Though I do have a proper gunsmithing set that I use on my other guns. How intricate is that ejector mechanism? Common problem? Broken or wear? Quote:
I need to obtain a stock measurement from an unaltered gun as I'm thinking the stock was cut down slightly to accept the adjustable butt plate. Sad as the wood on this gun is pretty nice IMO. The stock measures 14-13/16" to the butt plate mounting surface now and length of pull is about 14-1/4". I like the design, feel, and function of the existing pad but to the purist it's most definitely a technical foul. My suspicion based on who purchased the gun for my father is the gun came from an older trap shooter and he installed it in order to raise the comb and lower the point of aim. Appreciate the input gentlemen! |

The ejector mechanism in the Parker forend is intricate, complicated, and tempramental. It should be left to an experienced professional Parker gunsmith.

Try cocking the ejector with a wood dowel Most likely someone pulled the trigger and took the forend off without opening the gun

The ejectors now look fine and the forearm should fit on the gun. If you use a Silvers (or one of the reproductions) you will have a very useable LOP.
