I noticed on the bottom of the barrel lug in addition to 2 for frame size this gun had an 8 stamped sideways relative to the 2. Anyone know what that indicates?

Brent, that 8 may be another of those markings that are not understood. There are a number of other markings in the same category.

Brent, as a professional stockmaker I must say you did a most excellent job! Very nice indeed! Jerry

thanks Jerry, Ive been a woodworking hobbiest for a long time. I was fortunate that the break at the wrist was very clean also I could still see the checkering lines in the forend The checkering in the sock was Parker perfect already and just needed to be scrubbed with some alcohol to get the crud out of the cuts. If I ever do another broke stock repair I will match the epoxy color to the lighter refinished color rather than the dark oxidised color of the unrefinished walnut (rooky mistake. luckily the wood had that nice striping of light and dark which keeps the missmatch from looking too bad.

shot it today
I got some 2 1/2 inch Vintager shells, and tightened the action with a brass shim. shot a round of trap and while I didnt break 25 the gun did what it was supposed to do and the stock repair seems to be solid. Very pleasant to shoot with those light loads.
