Thank you all for the great feedback!
I am glad that we can re-breathe life into this classic. I will update as the repairs are completed. |

Welcome and congratulations. I would suggest you contact Brian Dudley , a PGCA member, on the stock repair. I live in Georgetown and collect and shoot Parkers. Jim Kelley in Darlington is a great Parker gunsmith, but has some health problems and the weight has become very long, sometimes years. If I can help you please feel free to contact me. The previous advise is good and the other smiths mentioned are excellent. David |
I have recently seen two separate guns, with broken stocks, repaired by Chris Dawe (PGCA member) and they were done beautifully.

Wait a minute... What is going on with that upper tang? Is it extended??? Please post a pic of the top of the wrist and also the bottom of the wrist while you are at it.

Brian is correct. It looks like somebody has welded an extension on to the tang. I would like to see better pic,s also. Looks like backyard engineing to do a previous repair to the stock. If it is you will be looking at a lot more work and a hole lot more money to repair it.

I have a back action with a lengthened tang. And an incorrect stock. Long term plan is to make the tang correct and replace stock. Sometime...

As for the finish on the receiver, would cleaning suffice if the barrels are to be refinished?
