What's going on with the "SAFE" engraving?

That’s a funky fresh use of Vulcan characters to spell out the boring old “SAFE”. I like it. Then again I’ll take a V grade shooter over a fancy high grade closet queen any day.

The script is in ancient Balanese text, which literally translated into English reads, "Not so fast, 'American Joe' - this gun is equipped with release triggers."

My guess would be that at some point the safety was disconnected & someone used a center punch to in an attempt of letting the user know that the gun wasn't on safe when the button was in the normal safe position.

I wonder if it's still disconnected and LSB didn't pick that up in their mechanical inspection.

I've consigned guns with LSB and their commission fee is negotiable depending on the value of the gun or the amount of guns you're consigning with them at that time.

Bit of a crack behind the top tang, but nothing to worry about

Kind of hidden in the description are the 32” barrels, F&F chokes, Ejectors and good stock dimensions. Just what many are looking for. Me? I already own several 32”/12g Parkers.

Same here Frank. I picked up two 32” 12gauge Parkers in 2023. Now if I could find a 30” or 32” 20g at a price like that….
