Kirk,
My thought is to have the stock repaired, but not re checkered. I would leave the Parker alone as far as anything else goes. All the wear this Parker recieved was from the hands of four generations of your family. That, as far as I am concerned, is something to be proud of. This is a picture of my fathers Parker. He found it under the Christmas Tree and shot the snot out of it for about 70 years. I would do nothing to hid his use of the gun and like your Parker the checkering is for the most part worn off. Kindest, Harry |

I agree, the stock should be fixed rather than replaced. There are people that can fix it and make it strong again and do it so that the fix is hard to find.

Many thanks |

Many thanks
Harry and Robin,
I appreciate your responses to this. What you suggested sounds like a reasonable approach. I've seen some repairs on this forum and they were amazing. I've also seen a post on how to perform this repair but not too sure I would want to tackle it. I'm located in Council Bluffs, IA. Can you recommend someone that I could contact? Another question. I was planning on replacing the butt plate and I know there are options to go with either original or repro. One option make more sense than the other? Thanks, Kirk |

If the butt plate is damaged and needs replacing, on that gun, I would get a Tony G., Silvers or Hawkins, repro pad and have the LOP set for your needs.

Depending on how bad the butt plate is damaged, there are restorers out there that can repair the original butt plate.

Jeff, the original butt plate has a piece broken off of it so it needs to be replaced.
Fred, I did a google search for the names you posted but not having much luck. I did find one referred to as a Hawkins pad but it was pretty thick rubber. Is that what you were referring to? Just looking at it I don't see how it would allow me to adjust the LOP but then again I am a complete amateur at this. Kirk |

Broken pieces can be replaced with accu glass and checkered with amazing results.
