Guy's that is between myself and the buyer. Let's just say they are not Walmart price's.
Seems that I have orders for two set's when/if I can find the time.

So to do this properly, first you need the try gun, the gun trunk case , the complete tool set and then the Parker provided leather case the tools came in. A Sears vinyl case, a Tru Value screwdriver, a Chinese adjustable wrench and a WalMart plastic bag won't do.
The ring on the barrel muzzle. The gun fitter has the shooter rapidly move and mount and point the gun directly at the eye of the fitter and hold position. The fitter then looks through the ring and should see the eye of the shooter. So I am told, never personally having a gun fitted that way. The only gun fitter I have had is about any gun dealer who tells me that any gun I pick up and mount from his table fits me perfectly and was made for me. Then others are perfectly content with a saw, cardboard and duct tape. |

I have been using my A. P. Curtis try gun for about 42 years without benefit of tools or trunk case. I bought it when I had little money and the previous owner had less. It has been a pleasure to own and shoot and has been used to fit many shooters to proper dimensions, myself not included. I shoot them all and none of them are fitted to me.

If you haven't yet had time to make additional try gun tool sets, I'd appreciate your adding an order for a set for my try gun. I'll be glad to send the gun or photos, etc., as you need. I have only the T-wrench. Thanks

Dave, I will renew my request for a set of tools for my A.P. Curtis Parker try gun. The main beam will have a magnet or series of magnets because Curtis didn't drill any holes in the rib.

Obviously the try guns were made to sell more bespoke guns, or maybe did they modify some of the existing guns some after the fact. Anyway, I don't own a copy of Parker Story but does anyone know how many bespoke guns were made for customers.
I am like Bruce, to some extent, there has not been a gun made that did not fit me. Once came across a Grulla that was with cast to fit a left handed shooter. Somehow someone ordered it but did not take delivery so it was a new gun just sitting at the gun shop I frequented for close to a year. I will admit that was a sweet little gun and it fit me well, or at least it felt nice. Agonized a couple of months about it and then decided, heck I will just buy it. Went to shop and it was sold the day before. I said to owner that was a close call because I would of had to probably sell a few of my other guns I really liked to justify that purchase. |

If you were a PGCA member, you would have had the opportunity to purchase The Parker Story just a few days ago in our For Sale section.
