I can't read the rib marking. It is very indistinct.

As for making it into a shooter I could probably get it tight enough and the pitting probably isn't so bad the barrels would fail. I could even make up another set of barrels or make a sub gauge set for it but, I'm sure the stock would fail at the wrist. I really think it has earned a rest. Besides, I have other shotguns I can shoot even more Parker hammer guns so it isn't like I have to make this one a shooter. I just love it for what it is, an ancient Parker and a gift from a friend.
