Ken: You hit a home run for sure. I was curious if the people you bought it from had some history on this looooong Parker. Thomas

No history to speak of. I just checked to see if my shotgun can be researched and it can so I will be sending for a letter tomorrow!

Thats a keeper. Thanks for sharing. Very cool.
What does she weigh? I am sorry to hear about your trap ranges rules. Their loss.

John,
I do not have a very accurate scale, but the barrel weight shows 4# 9oc.

I believe they have had a misshap at the range before, probably not pulling the hammers back all the way and firing off a round before they were ready.
