my old 8 ga i got from mills has more stock fixings than any gun i ve ever seen...first it had nails drove in it then a solid sheet of copper around it with nails thru the copper plate then someone put wrapped copper wire around the wrist area and really done well...then they soilered it all to gether with lead....then i added a water hose clamp...all still holding welland still shooting.....if they were giving out first places for the worst stock on any parker this old 8 would win hands down...charlie

Charlie's gun proves that these guns were made to be shot and to put meat on the table. And his gun obviously has done a whole lot of both. Boy if it could talk!
