Assuming Parker used #8 Tatham shot (399 pellets per oz.), and used 1 1/4 oz per shell, the total number of pellets per load was 498. That means it put almost 40% of the pellets in the 24" circle.

Rob
I have a similar gun , Parker o grade 10 gauge top lever hammer gun , 32 inch bbls ,steel butt plate , very high end mine has a broken butt stock so it is a wall hanger , as always if I can find a stock , a well used stock I would be happy , if you know of such an item I would appreciate a reply.
Rob the gun you have is all there , you own it right , it is a gun worth putting back in shooting condition , and it may be now . I don't know if you have any aspirations of shooting it , if you don't is fine , your gun is a nice solid desirable early Parker , one thing about a Parker they shoulder and point nicely.
Rob if you do nothing else Enjoy that old Parker!

Rob, let us know what Jerry says. He's a good guy to work with. Also, let us know how she shoots. If you take the time to work up different loads and pattern the gun you can make that 10 gauge do a lot of things. Their killing range is impressive.

That is not a gun you would restore and expect to be able to get your money back out of it. It would be for sentimental reasons or for the same reason some people fix up old cars.[/QUOTE]

Why is that Mills ,because we are crazy !!!!!!!!!

I have several family members into the old car thing. Also old houses. It's a labor of love

Russ- always love to see pics of your clunker -


I was headed home from an errand a couple weeks ago and a guy was rolling this one out of the barn to get it ready for inspection- I stopped and we compared the differences between his MKII and the MKIII like yours I had once



i knew the guy had a MG TD and a B - but had not seen this on the road before
