Thomas ,Looks like a Beauty ,Congrats. on your New Parker ,Love the wood and the Damascus pattern ! Enjoy ! Russ

Thanks everyone I think I have another keeper. The barrels were done in 2010 by the very talented Keith Kearcher and I sure was glad I bought that Parker Gun Identification and Serialization book so at the Gun Show I was able to check out the factory specs. The owner also had the reciept from the barrel rebrowning with the barrel wall thickness so that was a big help in my final decision to purchase. Thanks Thomas

Thats nice Thomas a keeper!

If anyone is interested the guy I got the Parker from had a really nice Ideal grade 12 Ga. and I passed on it even though it was a great deal and I don't collect L,.C. Smith guns. He was asking only 1000.00 for it so if you are interested please PM me and I can give you his info. I only met him this past week so I have no connection to this gun. Thanks Thomas

Curiosity _ what are the wall measurements?

And nice work by Keith Kearcher, he did some work on my first damascus gun and that was some time ago, I was very happy with it.

Rt. was .022 and the left is right at the safe zone of .020. With all my Parkers I may shoot them once or twice a year so at my age I'm good to go. Thanks Thomas

I have to decide which way to go on this gun. I knew the barrel wall thickness when I was in the process of purchasing because I liked the rest of the gun and I have extra 30 inch Dam. barrels or I could put briley tubes in it or just shoot it once in awhile with low base shells from RST What would you do? Thanks Thomas

"Drop Dead" wood on that baby, Thomas! Congtatulations!

Best Regards, George
