Thanks WS. At one point, I was able to find the brochures and other product information provided from Winchester that someone had scanned and posted but not now. Don't recall if standard dimensions were stated or if customers could order to spec... I hope this info is still posted and if someone can provide the link, I would be grateful.

Virtually everything on paper about Parker Reproductions is in the All Albums section of this site, it's called Modern Parker Paper. Here's a link to it:

Thanks again. Found what I was looking for and it seems my gun is pretty close to the nominal dimensions listed in the product literature.

Bending shown above is a great option. Several smiths offer this service. Repro's are stocked high. Most of my repro's are 1 1/8 X 2 1/8 to 1 3/8 X 2 3/8. I like 1 3/8X 2 3/8 best. I hope to build a bending station like the one shown above one day.....Stocks do vary a little as they were hand finished. Thanks all SXS ohio

Chuck,
That's a heck of a contraption you have built there. Looks like it provides excellent control of the process. I did not note that my gun was bent back to neutral cast when I acquired it. Mike Orlen did the job and did it well IMO. he probably took out 3/8" and stabilized a small check in the grain near the back end of the top tang. I wish I had discussed a second bend to bring it down just a bit while I had it with him as this may have influenced how to deal with the check.. I would like to get it to 2 1/2 and maybe a little cast off so I can get really dialed in with it as it's a very functional 2 barrel set. Regards, Jerry |
