That one is very tempting. Like Charlie, I have a few too many irons in the fire, but hope somebody here gets it.

Or they could just shoot and enjoy it for what it is. I wonder what the overall weight is, guessing 9lb + with a barrel weight stamp of 5 2. I suspect every 3 frame 12ga was ordered and the customer requested a weight that needed a 3 frame to achieve.

A 9lb 12ga does tame the recoil of 1 1/4 ounce loads.

Did anyone on here get it?

I bid on it, and then had to take a phone call and missed it. Should have bid higher.

I'm not sure if this is relevant to the topic, but I was recently quoted $2000 for a new stock by Jerry Andrews. My understanding is that he would be supplying the blank at that price. The gun I was asking about is a G grade, if that matters. Jerry promised all measurements would be to Parker specs. What he actually said was "about $2000". I only post this in case anyone is looking for someone to produce a stock for their Parker. I've never had Mr. Andrews do any wood work for me, so I'm not vouching for him - just passing along his rough telephone estimate. Jerry is also a member of PGCA.

Im going to guess 9lbs 4oz as mine in exactly 9lbs 8oz and my barrels are 5lbs 6oz. Assuming ejectors and extracters weigh about the same.
