Well, I got the letter on this gun today. Gun was shipped in March of 1894. Returned to Parker in June of 1905, by R.H. Mitchell, Hoisington, Ks. Interesting instructions for alterations to be done by Parker. "Make shoot close, clean & rebrown barrels, Bend stock 2 3/8", if possible, & remove saftey & plug hole". Make shoot close & bend stock 2 3/8"--what the heck was he asking for? Can any one explain this to me? Thanks, Jim.
