That was the driving force behind my 'New Baker' acquisition. My Grade 2 Parker 10 should be in the field next year.

-- Make me a reasonable offer and it is yours-the receiver is usable as is- this is a A grade mfg 1906- that was the basic grade, unlike Parkers who went from the end of the alphabet forwards to a and AA- All parts are cleaned, ready for re-assembly- coil bolt spring, rest are one pc. flat leaf springs- unlike LeFevers and Smith with a bend apex, these are scalloped for the locating pins that extend through the sides walls of the receiver- less breakage factor- Buttstock is 90% too- I repaired the small sliver at top left barrel tang- has original BP- replacement screws- barrels weight 5 lbs. and have mirror bores and heavy wall thickness at breech and muzzles- didn't check chamber depth- my guess- 2 & 7/8"--
