I have a 12ga grade 4 hammer gun with Acme Steel barrels.

David I would love to see some photos of that fine gun! Gary

David, Do you have a letter on the gun? I would love to see it!
Wayne

Yup, you’re absolutely right Gary…

Brain fart on my part.

Parker Bros. introduced their highest grade hammer guns, the Quality AA with Whitworth Fluid Steel barrels, while at Ithaca and L.C. Smith their lowest grade hammer guns came with steel barrels.

No Wayne, I don't. It's not in the serialization book and the PGCA shows no info available.
Also, it doesn't have Acme barrels. They are Titanic.
That's what I get for posting that at 3am. DUH! :rolleyes:

Gary, I have to apologize. I was incorrect in saying it had Acme barrels, It actually has Titanic Steel barrels. That's what happens when I make a post at 3am. :rolleyes:
Grade 4 top lever 12ga with 30" barrels. Right barrel is .038, Left .013.
Lop: 14 3/8" over Silvers pad. DAC = 1 3/8" DAH = 2", slight cast off for RH shooter.
Restocked and beavertail forend wood. The stock has incorrect shaped drop points. The forend does not have the thru-bolt. Double triggers. The front trigger fires the more open choked left barrel, the rear obviously fires the tighter right barrel.
Serial number 96086 . Not in the serialization book and no records with PGCA.

Here are some pictures:

Now THAT’S one very pretty Parker!!

David I would have thought the drop points on this Quality 5 were incorrect as well. The prior owner had it restocked as a result of the original stock being damaged. As you can see in the before and after (the bottom pic being the original stock) pics the points on this one are not the norm. I am not saying that the points on your gun are correct but just pointing out the fact that there are inconsistencies.

That as Dean said is a very nice gun, any one would be proud to own it! Gary
