I wanted to waterproof it so I applied three coats of minwax Antique finish on the wood. It gave it a dull satin shine. The first coat I sanded it with 600 grit while the antique finish was still wet. I then wiped it off immediately. I applied two more coats letting it dry for 5 minutes each time. Three coats was just enough so the finish didn’t get to shiny and not look period correct to me. Turkeys beware!

Nice stock Cory! Now that big old Tom will look and think to himself just how nice that Parker is just before you make him assume room temperature.

I loaded up a 100 grains of FG along with 1 5/8oz of BPI nickel plated #6’s. I tried a square load but the groups opened up.

I had 40 hits from the left barrel at 25 yards...





Here is photo of a 1 5/8oz square load coming out of it...



It doesn’t recoil much more than a 1 1/4oz RST load and puts almost 3 times as many pellets in the kill zone than the RST 5’s or 6’s.
