111205 DH Back in Action

[Craig Larter]

I bought 111205 from a seller on this forum's For Sale section. It is believed to be have belonged to JH Stair. JH Stair was a competitive shooter and duck hunter. The gun had charisma for me, 30" F/F, factory 3" chamber, factory Silver's pad, hickory rod, J.H.S factory engraved on the trigger guard, trap comb and a very rare and early Monte Carlo stock with nice dimensions and the asking price was a bargain!. The gun had bad screw slots, the wood was absent most of it's finish and the pad was rock hard and missing it's plugs. I added finish to the wood and installed a new Silvers pad on it's original curved butt. Brain Dudley repaired or replaced all the action screws and re-cut the checkering. Brain did an excellent job and I think the old gun looks respectable for a shooter with some cool features. I have less than $2300. into the gun, the Parker For Sale forum is a good place to buy in my opinion. Craig

Looks good.

[Bill Holcombe]

Well done. "Brain" Dudley does excellent work.

[Kirk Potter]

Nice!

[Dean Romig]

The recutting of the checkering is impressive. The recutting of the mullering is very nice as well. It looks like Brian burnished the pyramids of the checkering too for a more aged appearance. Well done!

not many 3 inch parkers out there....it will be tough on the stock and the shooter if 3 inch magnums are shot in this gun...i have a 3 inch chambered lc smith with modified choke that i have shotsteel duck loads in it and a few 2 ounce turkey loads in it..no harm to gun barrel or stock yet...you do have to put a limb saver on it...charlie
