Hi Mark-
Again, thanks very much for your response and it was very well said by the way. You have given me enough good reason to keep it as orinal as possible. I guess it doesn't matter what type of restoration or reconstruction I do with a common-made parts gun, but there is good reason to keep a Parker like this, although well used and worn, in tact and as original as possible. Thanks very much for the input, and agian, very well said.
Along those lines, I have receivers and some parts for two other Parker hammer shotguns-double barrel hammer action, 10 gauge (S/N 29,929 stright top lever; S/N 50,728 top lever but curved). I have been looking for barrels and forestock for one and I need to install a vintage replacement stock in the other. Not much luck getting parts however, but still looking. When I am done, they will be composite guns, but still worth having.
Thanks for the input Mark. I appreciate it. Chuck
