The hammers do not work. At least they do not cock readily and I do not intend to apply brute force. I don't know if anything was done internally to the lock mechanism. All the screws on this Parker show use-abuse as they all have slot deformation to varying degrees.
Based on your question, I dug out a 12 Ga A-Zoom snap cap. The fit in the chambers is very sloppy, maybe as much as a 1/16th inch sloppy! A 12 Ga snap cap rattles around!
Is there a dimension for the breach diameter that I could check with a caliper to verify the 10 Ga chambers?
If this Parker is a 10 Ga which it now appears to be, then the Parker Gun Serialization book has a data entry error for S/N 47950 on page 202.
The request for a PGCA research letter and the check went into the mail today.
