That is a nice back action Art! I find a lot of the back actions have cut barrels. So that fact that you have the 30" barrels is a win. Like others have said there something about a Parker Back Action...they just have nice lines.
I have a few, but I have struggled to find one with full length barrels in a 12 gauge. I have a 12 with 26" barrels I have 2 in 12b that have full length barrels. A few 14 gauges as well and 1 10 gauge. I have shot most of them, but it's a production with the odd gauges(though still fun and worth it). A nice original 12 Back Action is certainly on my list.
I am glad you found one, let us know how she shoots. I think you will really enjoy it. Several of mine have decarbonized barrels as well and although that is likely the "weakest" barrel steel, I have enjoyed mine with light smokeless and black powder.
I just recently got a case for my back actions, here is a quick pic...
Thanks for sharing, you got me looking for a 12...
