Monte Carlo Stock - Twenty Gauge

[Reggie Bishop]

From time to time we see 12 gauge Parkers with Monte Carlo stocks. Most seem to be on trap configured guns, I suppose there are some on more field configured guns as well. My question is does anyone know of or own a 20 gauge Parker with what appears to be an original Monte Carlo style stock? I have seen LC Smith 20s with the MC stock and what seems to be considerably more on LC Smith 12s than Parker 12s. Any info on Parker 20s with MC is appreciated.

I’d be very much up for a VHE 20 32” vent rib BT with a Monte Carlo choked on the tight side .

Reggie, about 15 years ago a dealer at the Allentown Show in Pennsylvania had a 20ga Parker with a Monte Carlo stock. As I remember it was 30 inches with a pad and double triggers with a splinter forend. He had it for a while ,price was around $5000. It sure looked original to me but it was quite a while ago. Haven't seen that guy in quite awhile.

Thanks James! Good information.

There was a VH or VHE 28 gauge with relatively long barrels, 28" or 30" and an original PG Monte Carlo stock for sale at KTP about 14 or 15 years ago. As I recall, John Dunkle even brought it to Deep River back then to show to some potential buyers. I don't remember what ever happened to it... I imagine John may remember.

Not me, never seen the monte on a 20 gauge Parker but like you Reggie I have seen them on Smiths such as the 20 gauge below.

Randy, here is another L.C. Smith 20.

Straight grip Crown 20, shocking from you :)

I know this goes against the horde but I'm gonna say it anyway . I shot a VHE 12 32' vent rib gun that has a BT MC and SST this past saturday at Hausemann's in the main event and on sunday at Rock Mountain . And by average I shpot as good a score as I ever shoot . Hence I have to think at clay birds I may be starting to do a hair better with single triggers . I shot single trigger skeet guns in the 12 and 16 preliminary events and didn't shoot terribly either .

SO that leads me to say if I was ordering the 20 gauge MC gun I think I'd want it to match the VHE 12 32" vent rib BT SST gun I already posses . Well as close as possible maybe put the 20 on a 1 frame .
