Factory stock dimensions for non special order PG stock Parkers are provided in Parker catalogs. They are: length 14" to 14 1/4", pitch 0, cast 0, DAH 2 1/2 to 2 3/4" and DAC 1 1/2" . However, there are plenty of 13 7/8" , 3" DAH Parkers.
Splinter forends are the usual forward wood. The trap forend ( beavertail) is uncommon and a special order item, which attaches to a special one piece barrel lug. Use of a beavertail forend without the proper barrel lug can and often does lead to brazing failure of the lug.
All original Parker wood is serial numbered to the gun.
