English Walnut on a Parker

[John Davis]

Just curious, what’s wrong with the stock that’s on the gun now?

The existing stock looks like it might be a DelGrego replacement, what name is on the recoil pad?

Dean the few DelGrego pads I've seen were black with their name on the end. Did they make multiple color pads?

This gun came to me in a trade, and did not have a recoil pad. I installed a Decelerator. The pad was not fitted to this gun, and is slightly oversized.
I took the pad from a gun I had sold, and it pretty much just bolted on.
This gun has the Parker Single Trigger, which needs a little work.
The selector doesn't work properly, (won't fire left barrel first if selected) and has a very heavy trigger pull.
I've heard that some shooters cranked up trigger pull weights to stave off flinching problems. Don't know if that's the case here, but the gun is a project.
Possibly a very good project.
A friend of mine has been saying that he thinks this gun should be upgraded to an A, AA, or maybe an A1, but I don't have the finances for a project on that level.
A wood upgrade would be it for me.

Tom, I’ve seen a few brown ones.

Yes, the current stock is not original.

If you use that blank, get a different forend piece. I would not use that for the forend on a SxS. It would not be strong and would be a pain to work with. Or if the gun were a splinter, you could get it out of the butt piece.

I have a few times had to go back to cecil and exchange forend blanks for straighter ones.
