One thing Jeff...

Is it really chambered for 2 1/4” (two and one-quarter inch)

Dean,
I have edited my post to show chokes are full and full.
As to the chambers, that is the information I was given.

Dean,
We are trying to give forum members a chance to bid on this gun. It will have to be a max bid deal. I will bid them the night of the auction.
I am trying to put the research letter on, but I'm having a problem with it.

Thanks Jeff - we appreciate your work on this.

Incidentally, I just traded PM’s with Mark Kircher and he believes the chambers must actually be 2 1/2 inches. He used 2 1/2” shells on the couple of occasions he shot it.... but he never actually measured the chambers.

That Parker is from a small serial number range of Grade 2's where they were lifters but had game engraving like the later top levers. Best of both worlds. The lucky winner could shoot it in the hammer gun challenge and it should be perfect for that event

Hi Joe and others. We don't mail out tickets and haven't for years. When someone re-wrote my announcement that didn't make it.
Your ticket in the form of an official name badge will be at the door.
You are #11 on my list.
