Yes. This gun has nothing to do with the ill fated barrel replacement project that you mentioned.

They probably put in the Miller single trigger at the same time.

Thank you guys.
I assume adding the Simmons Vent Rib permanently damaged the barrel and cannot be removed ? seems like an unnecessary thing to add on a nice Parker... done only for sighting the gun or are there other reasons The safety is not selective - just says "Safe" .. its pretty sticky to move but does move and does work |

David, I would venture to guess that the beaver tail is aftermarket as well. I would surmise that someone wanted to make it a dedicated target gun, ie vent rib, bt forearm, single trigger. Even has a trap style recoil pad. Would be interesting to know the choke configuration. May make a heck of a doubles trap gun.

John - That would actually fit the story line pretty well... I had not thought of this as one of the sporting guns.
The barrel does not have the reinforced forend loop - so I think you are right on about the aftermarket beavertail. I think I am going to have to leave this one as it is .. too much going on here. |

The barrel selector switch appears to be in front of the trigger… is it inoperative? .

It seems to be the late version of the Miller trigger, with the selector in front of the trigger shoe. It is a rocker type of mechanism that goes left and right. It is a selective single trigger. Thanks, Dean, I didn't see that. The Simmons rib should not be removed. It adds to a gun of this value and condition. Leave it as is and make a great pigeon or trap gun as Mr. Davis suggests. How about that upside down "P" on the barrel flat? Unusual at the least. David, is the original owner of this gun from Pennsylvania?
