Thank you that seems to be the consensus. I’m going to shoot it.

Default CHE crack?

Shoot that baby. 1 oz.recoil more than 7/8 and don't kill any better. RST Falcon Lites!!Save the old stock some extra stress this year and hammer those grouse. Good luck. If you decide it's not for you just let me know!! Beautiful gun I am fond of C grades I did own some 12's but would like a 16 someday.

2 1/2 inch RST's with 7/8ths of shot will work splendidly. Keep an eye on the stock and you will have a great fall chasing birds with a wonderful Parker. Congrats on the find.

Pretty gun from a great period. As others have said, I also don't think there's a crack there; just memories of past hunts.

Francis,
Don't rush in. These old guns can be dangerous! If you have any reservations about shooting this gun then I know a guy 381.7 due East that can fix your worries.

p.s. I think you will break before the gun does. Shoot it!
