[julian d'entremont]

Hi Guys,

Is this a PH? it's a 10g which i think is rare in a PH

i see the stock is poorly repaired do you think it is a reasonable project if i'm willing to have it restocked?

NH

I would not restock it.

[julian d'entremont]

sorry guys i think i somehow go thtis in the wrong category i was trying for general discussions. As a project would you feel $500 is too much?

[Harry Collins]

Julian,

What I can see it would be well worth $500 and I would do nothing to it but shoot it. If the stock breaks again, I would just have it repaired. There are those that can do a cracker jack job and it would be better than a replacement stock and cheeper.

Kindest, Harry

The book indicates, Grade PT, Capped pistal grip,10 ga, 32in tubes. Parker Story estimates about 608 produced. HTH,:) Bob

[Bruce Day]

The frame in the photo is marked N for N grade and shows in an enlargement below the serial number. The difference between N and P grades is purely a letter, but the gun is most correctly an N grade.

The Parker Gun Identification and Serialization book identifies all guns with plain twist barrels generically as PT, when most of the 10ga's are more precisely Grade N.

[Dean Romig]

N being a 10 gauge, P being a 12 or smaller.

[Bruce Day]

Depends on the year . Plain Twist grades were N for 10's and P for 12,14,16 or 20 per the 1900 catalog but in 1910, the N designation was dropped and P's were offered in 8, 10, 12,16 or 20. The best way to identify grade is to look at the frame flats, and this one says N so its an N.

[Dean Romig]

Aah!

I think Dave has told me that before too...

The older I grow - the closer I come to being able to honestly say "I've forgotten more about Parkers than . . . :(

[Dave Suponski]

And just to muddy the water a little more.....The same holds true with the E designation. Early 10 gauge guns made to about 1900 were E Grades after that they were all designated G grades regardless of gauge....

I have to go clean my Beretta O/U now....

[julian d'entremont]

wow i had no idea there were other designations for the typical h's vh ch ah etc depending on the guage. interesting...i guess it's a bit of a rarity considering 608 produced. so basically in the condition it's in; one would be better to use it than try and refinish. Even if it's a quality restoration?

thanks for the info btw...i think i'm soon going to get the parker story and take my interest to the next level.

[Dave Suponski]

Julian,
Just my two cents worth...but judging by the pictures and after a carefull inspection I would just use the old girl for her intended purpose sans any kind of restoration.

There are many recipes for low pressure 10 gaige loads out there or just buy some low pressure shells from our good friends over at RST Shotshell

[Bob Brown]

I bought and returned that gun several months ago. In my opinion one of the barrels has a crack in it about 14" from the muzzle. When I questioned the owner about it he knew of it, but since it hadn't blown on him he felt it wasn't worth mentioning. I ended up paying the shipping both ways, so if that is a deal breaker ask about it first. Did he mention that at all? I'm sure I just pi$$ed off the seller, but he is a forum member and he can post his own reasons for not pointing it out.

Thanks Bob, i guess when you find something too good to be true it usually is i'm not looking for a wall hanger i appreciate the honesty
