If it's the number above the serial number, it's a 2.
I don't understand the numbering system on Parker guns, being a neophyte. I got the serial number down, but that's about it. There's a C on the barrel flats, along with a 4 with the superscript 9. I'll send some pictures later, but being new, I'll have to figure out the process. It's got nice wood, but needs a lot of TLC. |

The 4 9 was the barrel weight, four pounds nine ounces. The 2 is the grade. the frame size is on the rear lug of the barrels. With as much as your barrels weigh I would venture the frame size is 2 which is stout.

Yep, it's a size 2. A heavy shotgun.

What size do you need - lots of the large and odd numbered sizes are still available at the dealers who cater to longrifle builders

I don't know the size as there's nothing to compare it to. It's a pretty big screw is all I know. It's a simple wood screw, just bigger than usual. I should probably go to my hardware store, buy a zinc screw and burn the finish off it.

Gene- can you post a foto-
- I have a cigar box ( R.G. Dung) full of buttplate and recoil screws, including the older fillister type used by Parker, Smith, Ithaca years ago- if you can post a foto and show the OAL and the thread configuration, I betcha I can get your an original- which were NOT Phillips heads, like used today- but a straight slot--$1.00 plus the shipping to you- fair enuf???

Fair enough! I'll just have to figure out how to test the thread and width of the screw. Can get the head diameter just fine.

TPI- easy
- just lay the existing screw on a machinist's rule and count the number of thread turns per inch- close enough, as this is going into wood, and not drilled and tapped steel- Be glad to help you out, and welcome to the PGCA brotherhood! Lotsa good info on double guns here-
