Jack is quite adept at Parker shotgun disassembly and reassembly.
We’ve seen some of his projects before!! .

Rick - It is indeed a 2 frame. It also sports a single ivory bead. It is not in the book. I have disassembled a few Parker’s and from what I find each time I wouldn’t shoot one without going through the disassemble/clean/lube/reassemble process. Not that they wouldn’t function just that they deserve a once in a century spa day and I find it therapeutic to fiddle with a 100 or so parts.
Rich - We do grow some big grouse up here. A small cannon can be useful. Cheers Jack

Hard to find that grade and configuration that has not been subjected to a lot
of abuse/use. That one looks solid to my eye. Screws look pretty good and they are even timed. Engraving is still solid as well. I would say you got a good one there. How about the wood, does it's wear match the metal ? Good find !! |

The wood has its share of clues it saw a few hunting trips. Each trip I’m guessing saw it get over-oiled. It likely stood on its butt for many years and oil did darken the stock head. That said, the checkering is still in very good condition - even the forearm. I do plan to try some long shot roosters with this gun come October. Cheers Jack
