Modern Dimensions for an Old Hammer-Gun
 
5 Attachment(s)
So I have been shooting my top-lever hammer gun lately and the fit was inconsistent. Too much drop, had to fiddly-fart with the mount, tried stick on combs and they didn’t do the trick. I sent the gun to Graco and they put an adjustable comb on the gun. Problem solved! Now the gun shoots where I’m looking and I don’t have to mess with my mount. It’s also a heck of a lot cheaper and quicker than a restock. Only thing I did was make two walnut spacers to fit between the comb and stock instead of the bright white vinyl washers.

We had 5 Parkers on the course today. Three 12’s, a 20 and a 16. Life is good, especially when you break birds!!

Hey, what else can you do to make up that much drop.

Mike Koneski 09-10-2025 03:20 PM

I needed 11/16”. Love the gun, but it needed work to make it as shootable as I wanted it.

I shot along with Mike and two other friends today. He was pounding the clays with his “new” TL hammer Parker. As compared with a month or so ago before he had the adjustable comb work done. Just sayin’

Heck of a stock for an old zero grade! Nice.

That is what I call an attractive piece right there Mike! Sure beats shortening your neck. Congrats!

If they had adjustable combs back then they’d have made it an option.

I cleaned it up then used Pro-Custom oil with alkanet root to blend in the color and used TimberLux to finish it off.

You didn’t hear that from me! If dimensions are wrong you will not be able to consistently shoot the gun well. When it comes to chokes, then learn to shoot the gun before you change said chokes. Am I back in your good graces now brother Stan? 🤣😂

We’re good Mike,

At least I got a little more of a rise out of you than when giving you dirt about your poor selection of sports teams :cool:

Has your new do-dad affected the pitch?
