Brass mid bead
 
I got a question from a new member in Australia asking if Parker ever put a brass mid bead on their guns. I can't ever recall seeing one but you know the saying about Parker's. Of course we see Lyman sights installed with an ivory mid bead and some guns with only a Lyman front sight.

Has anyone seen what they think is an original Parker brass mid bead installed?

Dave ,
Do these guns letter as to the beads is there any mention of the beads in a letter ? Just wondering

Steve, Nothing in the letter.

I have a c. 1890 GH with a mid bead. It does not letter that way and I have no idea if it is original

I've got a brass bead on my 32" VHE 16 and I really don't care for it.

I'll take it off your hands for free Daryl. Just want to help out a friend:whistle:

Daryl Corona 01-25-2017 05:05 PM

Make up your mind Chucky, I thought you wanted the 28.:whistle:

Chuck Bishop 01-25-2017 05:09 PM

If the 28 has a mid bead, I'll take that instead!

Daryl Corona 01-25-2017 05:14 PM

You would'nt like the 28, the mid bead is a small white one. I know you trap shooters are looking for that one thing that will give you one more target.:)
