Would the barrels have been rest stamped then?I don't see any evidence of that.

This gun has some type of after-market ejectors. They don't look like C.A. Fisher or Moran & Wolfersberger ejectors that I've seen before. Coming out of the Dakotas Fisher is certainly a suspect though. The forearm Iron appears to be the #2 forearm from 95xx0?

Some time back, someone posted pictures of a 20-gauge CH(E) two-barrel set. The ejectors on the #2 set of barrels look similar to this gun --

When Parker Bros. fitted those barrels to the new frame they would naturally have re-numbered the barrels to the frame.

Well,after closer inspection of the serial number on the barrel it looks like I can see a 1 and a 4 under the current number,so these possibly were restamped from another gun.But where do the 32 inch barrels fall into play that were listed with gun # 133140? The gun now weighs 9 lb.2 oz by my scale.I checked my scale with a new 10 lb.bag of bismuth from roto metals and it was right on 10 lbs.

This is one of the most unusual Parker letters I have seen. I recommend to Jeff to have the experts on the forum take a look and see what they say. Even though it is not factory original it is a hell of a duck gun. If it were mine I would have a nice splinter forearm made for it and and have fun shooting ducks with bismuth in the fall.

So Parker took a new frame,and stock and attacked those barrels and then serial numbered it as a new gun?The guy I bought this gun from said he purchased it from a guy who said his dad belonged to a shooting or hunting club and supposedly the club ordered the gun.I am going to try to track down the person I bought it from and see if I can trace it back.

I do like the way the gun feels with the beaver tail as I have a couple other Parkers with the original splinter forend.But I might see what it will cost to have a new forend and correct iron made or used one fitted,and also might check into a different stock.This stock is pretty high for me for hunting.Ill admit I missed the first few ducks with it till I figured out to aim a little lower.The other Parkers I have all have low combs,which are too low for my preference.

This is me with a double I got with this gun.

A hunting buddy took this of me in my blind with this gun.A little Sunday humor.:rotf:

Didn't think of this earlier,but would gun # 133140 with the 32 inch barrels have been a 2 barrel set and these barrels were sent back to Parker to make it's own complete gun? Or were these barrels added to gun #133140 at a later date and then sent back in to add a complete gun?Any way to tell?
