Where does simple 'Twist' fall into the lineup?

That's one of the things I want to know. Is Twist the English Twist the price list mentions?

went to dinner guys, sorry. My gun was a rescue. I bought it cheap because it looked nice. Believe it or not, the gun was in great shape except someone a long time ago had restocked it with Tiger Maple. The forend was original to the gun and walnut. It plainly says "Stub Twist" on the barrels just below the Parker name. I like the pattern, it's quite bold. My understanding is that Stub Twist barrels were made using high grade iron nails along with the steel. This gun is not an under lifter, its a top lever. I want to shoot it but was just wondering if I need to be overly concerned using target loads?

I think you are right...english twist is the twist Parker used. I don't claim to know, but didn't Parker tend to use the english twist, laminated and damascus rather than the Belgium barrels...or am I wrong?

With regard to grades and steel types, #29218, shown previously, is marked "Laminated Steel" on the top rib. This is a Grade 1 hammer gun, 10 gauge.

Hi, Chuck,
Yes, here is a picture. By the way, this was obviously before the clean up. Patrick |

Patrick, where your's say's laminated, mine says stub twist. It's deep in my safe but I'm going to get it out and take a picture of it. As I remember, the serial number is in the 35xxx range. I'm a bit intrigued now because I don't know of anyone that has ever said they have a parker with stub twist barrels. It can't be that rare? However, it was a field grade and I'm sure a black powder gun. Maybe very few survived?
