[Bob Hayes]

Anyone know anything about these guns.Looking at a 12ga tomorrow and know little about them.Guy knows nothing about them or what model it its.
Also has a d grade parker 12ga,dam. barrels, which book says came with 28"barrels but he is telling me they're 30".
I'll find out condition tomorrow.

I think brother Murphy knows about W&C Scott guns.

Don't worry about the Parker D grade, the book has been wrong many times, those barrels didn't grow an extra two inches over the last 90 years...:rotf:

I figured global warming was affecting everything.Thats what we're told.

Chances are that ANY W. & C. Scott double that is in decent condition in your part of the country is worth acquiring. Scott didn't make economy grade guns. Price? If you can pick it up for less than $1000 you probably have a bargain. But it ALL depends on condition...

I'd make this fellow a package deal on the Scott and Parker D if condition is reasonable on both...

[Bob Hayes]

That was what I was thinking.But we'll see what condition they're in.

[Bob Hayes]

The d grade was in rough shape with pitting in barrels.Lots of use and a crack starting in wrist with numerous dings in stock.Barrels are 30" and look to be in original condition.Couple screws where buggered up.Original skeleton butt plate with good wear on it.Someone had attempted a stock cleanup I suspect with one side cleaned up but not matching the other original.It is a 1 frame gun that did handle nice and would make a shooter if barrels where able to be saved.
Scott gun was a hammer gun with lots of wear and in need of repair on forend,hammers,barrel finish and over all.
He does have a remington 1898 hammer gun with twist barrels in good shape and function.
Actually looked good but a beast of a gun.
