Referring to your recent post, "You will be able to find a perfectly acceptable Parker for much less than it will cost you to put your project together." Sorry, that's just the way it is. The Galazan barrels are two large and the rest of the project will be another, total three thousand minimum. A perfectly acceptable Parker 12 gauge will cost about $800.00.

wow, hard to justify anything other than a 12 gauge, for me anyway.

Good luck on your quest. In my area, a nice 12 gauge is not hard to find at a reasonable price. The internet is also good ground to search for such guns. However, you may need guidance to eliminate bad choices.

Richard,
Please consider joining the PGCA. The PARKER PAGES magazine is worth the $40 per year. The real value is however in supporting this organization from which members will help you in your quest. One could loose hundreds or thousands in buying the wrong Parker. The experianced members will, if asked, guide one away from bad guns and often pass on leads for the real buys. For example, presently, a PGCA friend is buying a gun that I had on my list. Learning that he wanted the gun I backed off. He wanted it a little more than did I. He in turn will help me in the future. I have found this organization very, very helpful in all I do concerning Parkers. PS: A #1 Frame 12 bore will weigh a little over 7 pounds and be a great upland and range gun. The 12 gauge is certainly the most affordable to shoot and reload for due to its popularity. Respectfully, Mark |

Richard,
If you'll take your time and watch the various sites like gunbroker. You can probably find an O-frame 16ga that has some issues like cracked wood, all case colors & blue gone,etc. for under $2000.00. It sounds like the ideal one for you would be one with a broken stock, but good barrels. Then you could have the barrels fit to you fathers gun and have it back in business. I just found & purchased a solid shooter VH O-Frame 16ga with good 28" barrels & decent original wood finish for $1700.00 They are out there but you have to be ready to pounce when you find one. |

I agree with GH-16. When it is available one MUST be ready to pull the trigger!
Remember, you can always sell but you cannot always buy! Mark |
