Jeff congrats on the new old gun. Sounds like you will enjoy it. I as well shoot lefty. Hence being disenfranchised really enjoy double guns since most are fairly neutral. You sound like someone who has shot some to worry about cast or stock fitting and hot oil bending of a gun and using RST shells. Lots of discussion on that topic before. Lots of helpful and knowledgeable people on this site.

Here are some pics of Jeff’s first Parker. Nice gun.

A few more ...

He was right, does look like a safe queen. Nice late model Parker.

Good looking gun! Does not look too good to shoot and enjoy, though.

Do get some Bismuth shells for the waterfowl.
 

Jeff - you say you will shoot ducks with this....great plan.

No duck ever looks prettier than when it is dropped in front of you with a fine Parker double.

It is a sight to savor and remember. Then repeat!

For me it is easier to spend the money and get non-toxic Bismuth shells than decide whether steel shot is not going to harm the barrels.

Best regards, John

Mike Franzen thank you for posting those pictures for me
