[charlie cleveland]

there is a gun on gunbroker that real interesting has a lot of issues but still of interest as a shooter..the auction no is 296466447 this gun is listed as a d grade which it is but its listed as a 12 ga with 3 1/2 inch chambers no 3 frame 9 lbs of weight...stock has lots of issues but what gets me it looks like the old gun came factory as a 10 ga..look at the britch end also the weight on barrels are 6.6 mighty heavy for a 12 ga ...i believe she was a 10 ga when she was first made and now shes a 3 1/2 inch chambered 12 ga...what do yall think...the serial no of the gun is 85555 ...would make a fine turkey gun or a top notch duck gun in my book...whats yalls opinion on this gun... charlie

85555 is in the book as a Grade 3 10 gauge with 32" barrels and a pistol grip stock.

Some people should not be allowed to own Parkers.
I've been looking for a D grade hammerless 10 gauge and this makes one less available.

[B. Dudley]

Yup... 10g. that was monoblocked into a 12g.

George, I am lucky. My D Grade ten was a #3 frame 12 before it was sleeved at Lefever to a 3 1/2" ten gauge. I guess that evens things out.

A $3000 Parker reduced in value to darn near ZERO!!!

I wonder what the Gold "I" is for on it. Maybe it is a "1".

Are there maybe multiples of these out there?
