My First Parker
 

A grade 2 with Hammers and a set gorgeous Damascus Barrels.

welcome JIM these old parkers are habit forming...sounds like a keeper youve got there... charlie

Hi Charlie, thank you. I'm afraid you might be right about that. Much to my wife's chagrin. Heh.
I have to say Those old guns just have an amazing aesthetic quality to them. Plus you can imagine the stories they could tell. I was looking for a schematic so I could give it a good cleaning and I stumbled here.

How about some pictures Jim. Grade 2 hammer gun cool top lever? stright of bent? ducks and grouse? whats on the bottom? Glad you found this sight. Think about joining and talk to us don't just "dissapear" like so many do. best ch yeah I know

THanks Fishtail. I'll do my best to stick around!

I have a photos here of the receiver. Straight top lever. very little pitting or unnatural wear.

Lucky guy!

Thanks Pa, I know I got lucky with it. I wanted to take it out yesterday for a few rounds of skeet, but one of the local colleges had the entire range tied to for a match. Dang!

Just make sure the barrels are sound and use low pressure loads. Lots of PGCA guys in your area for help.

OPPS, you are a member sorry! Great first Parker enjoy.

Okay Jim... where are you? I'm in Andover Ma and there are a bunch of guys in the New England area who are quite willing to help a new Parker (custodian) owner. We'll all be shooting at Addieville on Saturday and consider this an official invitation to meet some of us and to do some shooting too.
