Stock split
Please pardon my ignorance but I am looking for the split. Please help me locate it.
There seems to be a gap to the right of the tang that might would indicate a crack at the back of the tang. I have not bought it. The seller is swearing that the colors are original but I always doubt parker colors. He also claims 90% but I don't see it. Especially with the fore arm damage and a possible stock split. |

I see that!
Thank you! I am assuming this is about a $3500 gun? |

That would be between you and the seller. He hasn't reduced his price in about two years. Apparently he is convinced it is original. I suspect he bought it as "original".

If a gun was shot or used enough to get a stock split I'd think it wouldn't have case colors quite that strong. I suppose it could have gotten damaged the first day the guy took it out but that's a stretch......

Right Destry, and the fact that there is significant oil staining in the wood supports what you said. Especially in the forend wood which is probably original to the gun.

perhaps a research letter would reveal some more info?
and, if the receiver has been rehardened, then that opens up a can of worms, re: the single trigger...parker single triggers are suspect enough without introducing the potential problems of receiver warpage and the necessity to refit the trigger and related parts... but a nice looking gun, never the less. |

is there a thru bolt length wise in the forend? if not, then that is a big clue that the beaver tail forend is not factory.
