Thank you Charlie, Bill,
Ed we did the measurement as directed and it came out a #2 frame. When we put the magnifier to her you can just make out faintly where the horizontal bottom of the 2 starts to swoop up.

Gord did the disassembly and let me 'assist' (third hand that he didn't need) with the reassembly. Quite the education and made me further appreciate the quality of the Parker shotgun.

Didn't understand the issue with the little block of wood in the upper neck of the stock that routinely breaks during disassembly - see photo above - Gord tells me it happens all the time but I don't get how the Parker engineers would let that stand. Or is there a special technique to prevent that occurring?

Thanks to all with the help. I have two books enroute, and will get with Amazon or Ebay to pick up couple more on Parkers, and sending off for some research letters. ( the 34" serial # didn't come up on the list).

Could ask for a better welcome to the club.

If anyone is headed to the Denver show May 18-19 be my pleasure to buy a coffee, beer (or even a scotch as will be taxiing to hotel!)

Cheers JG
