From what ive seen it looks like the lifter models are lower in cost than the top actions ? |

I can’t imagine why. The lifter mechanism is safer and more ergonomic. It is certainly the favorite action for many of us. Must have had something to do with condition of the guns you saw at lower prices. .

I like the lifters since it is distinctive to a Parkers . Ive read though that Parker collectors really like grade 3 top actions ? |

Given the choice I would prefer the Grade 3 Lifters, of which I have a few.... .

What he is saying here is consistent with what some Members with a few more years behind them and considerable experience have said, one example being, "....Parker made [guns] in all sorts of dizzying array's ,and subtle nuances that keep collectors guessing. (Chris Dawe, PGCA Forum).

All this 10-gauge talk has left me wondering, did the Brothers P or Remington ever make a vent ribbed 10-gauge? I've see s few Ithaca NID Magnum-10s with vent ribs, but I've never seen a Parker Bros./Parker 10-gauge with a vent rib.

One year at Ohio Gun Collectors, Jim Parker (I may be wrong about that) displayed an AHE 10 vent rib gun in high condition. I think he may have had a price on it.
