I used to live in Grand Forks. There were several Fischer modified Parkers left in the area.

This is another Fischer modified Parker. Not a prototype, not experimental. Similar to Miller single trigger conversions, some people had ideas to improve Parker shot guns. Old Fischer advertisements for doing these ejector modifications can be found. He was a local gunsmith and this was part of his livelihood.

With all the gunsmiths that had their own ideas, you could get Nydar sights, Sellious PG plates, through bolts as a preventative measure, padded butts, fat fore ends, or even chop the barrels.

Pictures the late Dr. Gaddy sent me of the M & W ejectors --





In that Parker Bros. were very late in offering ejector guns, and their early ejector catalogues stated "EJECTORS CANNOT BE FITTED TO ANY GUNS NOW IN FINISHED CONDITION." So, this left a cottage industry for inventive gunsmiths.
