A lot of holes in that rib.

Intresting ! I had a circa 1916 Marlin 1895 that was chambered for 33 WIN . Kinda like the cartridge .

A very interesting addition to the left barrel (brass plate?) and the stock mods as well.

Could have used that last week when pheasant hunting my setter pointed this buck.

Some of the holes are near the middle of the rib.

At least the screws many screws aren't buggered

a Ridge Runners dream gun :rotf:

that guy does get some interesting stuff

Did Parker ever make any rifle caliber guns like Colt and Lefever did? I did read a post here regarding a rifled slug Parker.

this is my first time to ever see this brass patch used on a barrel...wish I could look at this gun in hand....its interesting to me...charlie

This gun was obviously done by others, and not Parker Brothers, and it's sad that the stock and top rib have been so irreversibly 'altered', because it appears to have been done quite well.
The seller states that he bets I've never seen such a gun, but he apparently never looked at page 673 of the Parker Story, because, they did, in fact make such a gun. I had the original 20ga. SxS barrels for that gun.

There is also one on display at the Cody Museum. A Lifter with provenance.

If someone wants to try to build a nicer version, you have an hour and a half to bid on a good starting place:

Looks to me like that left barrel blew and the area was pounded down, the hole trued up and the hammered area engraved. Then the hole filled with the brass plate. With the rifle barrel inside the bore, it is not an issue.

I looked through my father's old loading manuals, but none listed the pressure the .33 Winchester was loaded to.

In addition to Colt and Lefever, E. Remington & Sons offered both double rifles and cape guns in their Whitmore lifter action doubles. When they went to the top snap doubles in 1882, they began offering the auxiliary rifle barrel. They continued offering the auxiliary rifle barrel into the Remington Arms Co. years.

At $100.00 for each “Extra hole” you would have to pay me to take it.

I think I would buy one of those barrels and sights if they were still avaible.....charlie
