Thanks everyone I think I have another keeper. The barrels were done in 2010 by the very talented Keith Kearcher and I sure was glad I bought that Parker Gun Identification and Serialization book so at the Gun Show I was able to check out the factory specs. The owner also had the reciept from the barrel rebrowning with the barrel wall thickness so that was a big help in my final decision to purchase. Thanks Thomas

Thats nice Thomas a keeper!

[Thomas L. Benson Sr.]

If anyone is interested the guy I got the Parker from had a really nice Ideal grade 12 Ga. and I passed on it even though it was a great deal and I don't collect L,.C. Smith guns. He was asking only 1000.00 for it so if you are interested please PM me and I can give you his info. I only met him this past week so I have no connection to this gun. Thanks Thomas

Curiosity _ what are the wall measurements?

And nice work by Keith Kearcher, he did some work on my first damascus gun and that was some time ago, I was very happy with it.

[Thomas L. Benson Sr.]

Rt. was .022 and the left is right at the safe zone of .020. With all my Parkers I may shoot them once or twice a year so at my age I'm good to go. Thanks Thomas

[Thomas L. Benson Sr.]

I have to decide which way to go on this gun. I knew the barrel wall thickness when I was in the process of purchasing because I liked the rest of the gun and I have extra 30 inch Dam. barrels or I could put briley tubes in it or just shoot it once in awhile with low base shells from RST What would you do? Thanks Thomas

[George Lander]

"Drop Dead" wood on that baby, Thomas! Congtatulations!

Best Regards, George
