That particular gun has very thin barrels back by the chambers. Would advise caution.

As chris stated, the stock is not original and is pretty poorly shaped. Based on the wood alone on that gun, I would not get into it.

An easy check is to look for the stock serial number under the trigger guard tang.

I will say it again, that is not the be-all-end-all way to tell anything. Just because a stock has numbers under the guard, does NOT make it original.

Ok I didn’t say that it was the “be all end all”did I ? Without the serial number , non originality is clear. With the serial number , originality is generally certain. Some good stock makers have been known to stamp the serial number as was done on original guns. If the stock was poorly done , then the serial number presence would not help towards originality.
So I disagree that the stock serial number fails to tell anything. But then I am not an expert on Parkers or any other gun. |
