Default Underlifter Parkers at SXS

I am writing an article for Parker Pages. I would like to get more data on the bore and chamber dimensions of early Parkers. I will bring my Browne and Sharpe micrometers to the SXS. I would greatly appreciate the help of any PGCA members who will let me measure their early Parkers of any gauge---but I am extremely interested in measuring the bores of 8-, 11-, and 14-ga guns.

Please let me know if you will be bringing something cool. Hope to see all my friends at the SXS. I look forward to doing some shooting at Deep River.

Richard

I will have a number of early guns at my table. I will have a T-Latch gun (no. 49), back action (no. 1500), a front action (no. 1219) and a 17,000 serial range lifter. All in 12g. You are more than welcome to take all the measurements you want.

Are you sure your car will hand the weight of a few more guns in addition to that 8ga?

I have been trying to get my friend to sell me his underlever 10. He says he will never, ever shoot it--and it needs ALOT of work/restoration. I may bring it to the Southern just to get an idea from some of you knowledgable folks as to its value and what it would take to put it back into shape.
What the hell am I going to do with a 10 ga???
