Gun Barrel
 
Hello James,

I have a VH for which I need a replacement cocking link. If you don't find the owner of the remains of your barrel, I would be interested in buying it from you for the part that I badly need.

Thanks,

Galen Hays, gmhays27@sbcglobal.net

Tarnation, I only removed the screw and lifted the tang enough to see the number with a bright light there was no letter just the same sn.on the stock.at the time I was not sure how to remove it completly so as I said I lifted about 1/8" from the wood to see the number

I don't think Frank Lefever and Son had anything to do with this gun.

Ron: Once you have been able to make the initial 1/8 turn, the rest is easy. Complete removal requires only that you continue to turn counter clockwise until the guard is free. As for a pic, a half turn would likely make all easily visible. The only concern is to ensure you have lifted the guard above the wood before turning but you will have already done that to achieve the 1/8 turn.

Ron, your Parker is an enigma.
It started life as a grade 2 but the engraving and checkering and the addition of the fleur de lis and checkered panel upgrades are the real parts to the puzzle.
We know what happened to the barrels... Remington rebarreled the gun.
The engraving coverage is what we would expect to see on a grade 5 or 6 but the quality and execution of the engraving are not up to Parker Bros. standards... possibly done by an engraver at Remington (although I doubt it) but not, in my opinion, done by Robert Runge.

Ready yourself for the very real possibility that you may never learn who made all those changes to 84025.
