Hi John,

Great lifter you have there!!!!

I wouldn't do much to the gun, its a nice one. The stock can be repaired and if done correctly you will need to know where to look to find the fix. I have used a great gunsmith for this kind of work and its magic to see results like that. Unfortunitly, he isn't doing much work now but I have seen, on this site, that others have had good results from http://www.stockfixrs.com and I hope one of them comments here for you.

One picture of the barrels seems to show a dent at the muzzle end, is it or is it the picture? In any case, if there is a dent it can be fixed too. The usual cost to fix the stock and the barrels isn't cheap BUT its not real expensive either. Well worth the money especially is the barrels aren't pitted and can be shot. Lifter action Parkers are a joy to use, I like Lifters better than top action and wonder why they changed. Its very natural to use.

Great Parker, but I warn you that others that have made posts similar to yours have been infected with Parker mania and it may happen to you too ....... but it is fun.

I agree, don't dry fire it. The hammerless Parkers were the ones advertised that could be dry fired.
