Ok, the only reason I was thinking about it was the price, they were all under 50$.

If they are true Parker Brothers, any complete gun is worth $50 since it is a local shop cash and carry situation. But just because it says Parker it may not be what you are looking for; it may be a Belgian knockoff if it is priced at $50. Make sure they are the "Real McCoy" and if so buy them and I or someone else will be glad to take them off your hands for parts.

That's what I was thinking Jerry. Also, if one wanted to try "amateur gunsmithing", stock refinishing and repair, etc., would be a good one to learn on--and I'm sure you would get $50 worth of fun out of it.

Charlie, you must remove the wood before going to the scrap yard to get the extra penny. On the other hand I am satisfied at a nickle a lb. for mixed scrap.

Hello everyone, I finally got my Parker back from my gunsmith after 4 months. I was curious if anybody has recommendations on black powder, go to or trusted brands as I'm not familiar with black powder. I was also thinking of sending it in to delgrego or turnbull to have it restored at some point. I'm aware that it will most likely cost more than the shotgun is worth but I'd really love to see it brought back to former glory. Thanks

Black powder loads are not really necessary, unless you really enjoy messing with black powder. recipies for Low pressure loads using modern powders are readily available for the 10 ga--look at the reloading forum and there is an unbelievable amount of data for loading the "short" ten. RST shells are also available commercially. Good luck and have fun.
