D Grade 10ga. with 32 inch barrels now 10.3 pounds with the barrels at 5.3 pounds.L.O.P. 14 inches and d.a.h. is 3 1/4 at pad and as close as i can measure d.a.c. 1 7/8.I take it that it has been restocked again. Thomas

If those barrels had been finished or made by Lefever, they would have had the perfect Parker matting, and probably barrel logo. Up until Bob Lefever left and the business was turned over to a young, non Lefever gunsmith, the business owned and used the original Parker matting machine. After the young manager left (to Utica) taking the matting machine with him. Lawsuits ensued and the Utica business went under. Today, I would not be surprised if the machine lives on in Connecticutt.

It was ordered on my birthday and shipped on my wifes a bunch of years early . Seems it was meant to be mine.

Steve: It has been in Idaho for over a Hundred years but you never know where it may end up. I will have to see if I get a turkey permit that I signed up for. I bet that would put a hurtin on him. Thomas

Thomas, you know that 10 ga. hammer gun you sold me would be proud to have this 10 sitting beside him in my gun case.( HINT HINT ):whistle:
