Your favorite configuration
 
How do you like your Parkers stocked? Straight, PG, splinter or beavertail forarm? I much prefer the looks and handeling of a straight stocked gun. If I'm going out for clays I like the BTF, if its bird hunting either one is fine with me.

Like you Rich, I like a straight grip, splinter, double triggers, skeleton buttplate.

I cry inside a little whenever I think of the one I let slip away about five years ago... A DHE twelve gauge, thirty-inch Damascus barrels on a 1-frame, checkered all-over splinter forend, georgeous marblecake circassian walnut, skeleton buttplate... for $3K :crying:

I too like staight stock and splinter forend with double triggers and automatic safety. The last two Parkers I've had to restock received a checkered butt.

I like a full pistol grip stock and splinter forend on a gun with double triggers.

Amen brother...:bowdown: And I ain,t talkin shotguns here..

I own one straight grip/beavertail gun and all the rest are pistol grip guns with either splinter or trap forend. The splinter is fine on a field gun but I really like trap forends on target guns. My choice in triggers is double without a doubt.

I like a SG/DT/BTFE on a 28ga gun and SG/DT/SFE on all the rest.

The beavertail on a 28ga is just so perfectly proportioned! But BTs seem too wide in the larger gauges.

And to me, nothing seems more classic than straight grips, double triggers, and splinter fore-ends!

My 12 and 20 gauge Parker Reproductions are straight stock/splinter forend, since they are heavy enough and there's plenty to hold onto. My 28 ga. Repro. has a pistol grip and beavertail, because I find it easier to control such a light gun using that configuration. All my double guns, even my Beretta 687 EELL O/U, have 2 triggers, due to the fact that they all have 2 barrels :shock:!

Looks like the prop.....stole the hat! BIG SMILE on her face....(-:

Jack Cronkhite 04-30-2010 08:35 PM

Maybe the smile is because she's drawing down on that two timin' devil she stole the hat from. I note that the gun is SFE, PG and assume DT, given era. If you measure the barrel and then extrapolate, she is between 5' 4" and 5' 6".

Seems like alot of information there Jack , if you were in the states, I believe you'd be flagged at the border.

Well, what the heck's wrong with profilin' ?

I think she's got a real fine profile :D
