Parker Help Please

[KCordell]

Hi,

A friend has what appears to be a 26" strait stock...in decent condition. Can anyone confirm the configuration of SN 83086? Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

KC

Another original 24"
wow -

[KCordell]

Interesting and thank you for the data. So the barrels were not cut they are original. Based on the response am I reading that this is somewhat uncommon?

[Mark Ouellette]

Very rare....

Is it 26" or 24"? If it is 24", you will have many collectors interested in it, including yours truly. I would like to look at it. Is it in Maryland?

[KCordell]

Guys, yes, it's 24". I just measured...sorry for the low quality pic.

What's so special? Can someone tell me?

Mr. Kordell,

Welcome. We do hope you will join the Parker Gun Collectors Association. The PGCA membership is the best $40 you can spend. You will enjoy the quarterly Parker Pages journal.

Mr. Kordell, the 24" original barrel length is the interesting and unusual feature of this gun.
