I figured someone would snatch it for that BIN price. It's worth almost that without any wood, assuming the barrels have at least some choke. I'd like to know if it does have any choke. There's some nice V grades available that are more expensive than this gun was. The seller didn't do a very good job of describing the gun. If it is indeed "right" as Dean suggest possible, someone did indeed steal it.

Richard ,I agree ,he really didn't do much with his description to help his sale ,with such a fine gun as this C Grade ,a letter should have been first on the agenda ,and I believe in his description it seemed he owned the gun for some time ,if you owned the gun and knew info. was available ,why wouldn't you get a letter for your own curiosity long before trying to sell such a gun !Really was /is a nice piece ,if it is sold ,somebody got a nice buy !

The gun has been sold and I am not going to tell who bought it.:p

All Kidding aside I will let everyone know the outcome.

Ken

Do that please. If it turns out to be a nice honest gun you will of course and out of courtesy, be required to distribute crying towels as needed....

Will do. I mailed the check to seller and the Parker letter request on the same trip to the mail box.

Congratulations.

Ya Congratulations Ken, Please let us know how it turns out. I thought that great gun to be very interesting. You could have a gem there...:)

any parker is a gem indeed....charlie

All bets are off until the PGCA letter comes. It could have been factory made at 27", cut from 31" to 27" at the time of shipment, returned to Parker to be cut, with documentation, the same with no documentation, cut outside of the factory, you name it. OK, now the butt. "no butt" is not a rare order book entry. Back to the possibilities; the letter may shed some light. The good part is that restoring the butt on this gun will be a piece of cake. Be sure to let us know how the letter turns out. Great gun, in my opinion. My last great buy was a 17 1/2" BH ten that I am thrilled with.

"Home Defense" or "Specialty Woodcock" gun ?
