I don't disagree but if you look in the back of VOL II of The Parker Story for the section on all serial numbers of 14 gauge guns and then look them up in the Serialization book you will see single 14 gauge guns in among 10's and 12's.

Serial numbers of Parkers has always meant to me when an order has been placed for a gun accept for stock or guns such as the first Invincible. I am sure Parker made an effort to duplicate manufacturing processes and if orders didn't begin until they had a sufficient quantity to begin production of those guages so be it. The letters on my guns which I have ordered vary from delivery of less than a month to more than 5 months which means the delivery process was not consistent. It would be interesting to see the delivery date of the 14 ga. in comparision to the ones surrounding it.

It would be helpful if the records showed 14ga. guns were ordered, instead of made for stock.
Knowing the order of operations would also be useful, but there are as many opinions as there are operations. Rough boring was likely done before fitting and action filing, and finish boring was almost certainly done after finish filing of the action, and striking the barrels. |
