Hi really nice gun but has it been restocked...I'm no expert but the profile of the stock seems a little too sleek .top dollar but beautiful metal coloring etc.

Out of all those pictures the one with the reinforced lug for the forarm is conviently missing. IF it's a true skeet gun the PG version is seen far less than the straight grip guns.

Thanks. As usual, the knowledge base regarding Parkers on this forum is outstanding. I'm a neophyte in that area. I didn't get my first "old" Parker until about three years ago, though now I have a few. I do have several Repros and have had them for many years.
I was mildly interested in that particular toy, but suspected the restock myself. It also seems to be in too good a shape for a Skeet gun. They generally get a lot of shells poured through them and are handled a lot, which would have worn the case hardening colors more than shown. It is a pretty piece though. However, with a suspected restock and probably a refinish, including case colors, the price seems a little stiff. |

The leather?? cover on the pad is very fresh and new looking.

Hi again, you might want to go back to the seller and question some of the claims he made in the ad and try to get the price down. Should you be a skeet shooter this gun should get you many positive comments on your choice of gun. I am not tied by a hard and fast rule about everything on a gun having to be 100 percent like it came from the factory.

A couple of thoughts; maybe someone could ask the seller if it has a non-automatic safety, that was normally standard on a "skeet gun". Lack of a BTFE in the serialization book gives me pause. A pistol grip skeet would have been special order as normal configuration would have been a straight grip. I wouldn't give up on this gun if you want it, see if it was special ordered. The letter would increase or decrease the odds it was stamped "skeet in" and "skeet out" at the factory. The gun could have been modified with the BTFE and stamps applied much later.
PS. ask the seller for a picture of the forend lug to see if it is the factory reinforced lug used for the BTFE. |

I see nothing that would indicate to me that the stock is a replacement.
