When you get the letter, I think it will show the stocks were factory replaced at one time.

Tough decision, but i think, like Craig, that I would take it slow, and do what I could to get it into shootable condition first. And if time and pocketbook allow, have engraving done later. I have a friend with a whole lot of old SXS barrels and will ask him if by any chance he would have any Parker 12ga damascus, or steel barrels that might fit a 2 frame
gun--probably not, but I will ask.

Brian, how much fell off. You can get tube sets in shorter lengths. They even build them for snub nose guns. Seriously, I will keep a lookout for those Dam(n)? 2 frame 28" barrels.

Bill - no, my gun has a normal splinter forend. This is the gun I bought from Cabela's some years ago that HD Kirkover had bought new. It letters as the first steel barreled B grade as I recall.
Don't want to hijack this thread but here are a couple pics of 87712. It's a #2 12/30 straight grip. I ha ve a little bit of a hard time shooting it as the stock is smooth enough that it's a little tougher to hold onto than I like. I should add that I believe it is the first made with 'Parker' steel barrels and that some had been made earlier with Whitworth barrels. |
