New Parker Just Arrived
Picked a new Parker off of the Internet this week ,the description was pretty vague but the Serial # showed a VHE 12 Gauge Vent Rib gun that left the factory with Ejectors , 30" Vent Rib barrel , Single Trigger Capped Pistol Grip Stock and Splinter forend ,and that is pretty much what i got ,Sans the Splinter Forend and fit with a Small Beaver Tail ! There are a couple of oddities about the gun ,the Nose of the Comb is Very Broad and has an odd taper and the stock is thicker than normal ,I am suspecting after market ? The thing odder than that is the Safety ,it has a Selective Miller Single Trigger but the selector is the safety lever ,the safe is in the center ,if you push the safety forward it fires the Right Barrel and is stamped accordingly and if you slide the safety back ,it fires the Left ! The other thing ,both Barrels are Full Choke the gun has 3" Chambers ,Bores are Excellent! The gun is very unique and I am quite pleased with it ,I don't often take a chance on one but it just caught my eye ! I am Posting Pictures ,has anyone else ever seen this safety / Barrel Selector set up before ,it's a new one on me ! Opinions are what this thread is about ,feel free to reply ! Forgot to mention ,this is a Late Remington Era Gun !
