It is either "N" or "M". Can't quite make it out.
Frame Size 3, 12 guage, with a "T" in a circle & 5lb 12oz stamped underneath.
The rib on the barrel just says "Parker Bros Makers. Meriden CONN. U.S.A.
The questions I have are:
-What kind of barrel do you think this firearm came with?
-Do I need to find a barrel off of a frame size 3 or can I use a barrel off of a frame size 2 with this receiver?
-Are stocks for the most part, interchangeable with minimum smithing?
Thank you for your help.

Brian, the gun is listed in the serialization book as a 10 gauge with 30 inch twist (plain twist) barrels. You would need to find barrels to match the frame size.
