Mike,
34537 is not in the "Book". I have several Parkers that for lack of information did not make the book. Please show us some pictures. I find it odd that a heavy 6 frame Parker only has 29 1/2" barrels. Parkers for the most part had even numbered barrels like 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36 and I think there may have been some 40". I would have guessed 32"+ barrels on a 6 frame. Of course with Parker, they would make what you wanted. Brad Bachelder has done some wonderful Parker work for me and his turn around time is reasonable. Kindest, Harry |

Six Frame Ten
An unstruck weight of 5 lb 10 sounds very light for a 6 frame. Two frame tens are often more than 5 pounds, and 3 frames in the 5lb 9 range or greater. I have a 4 frame 10 ga, 30 inch barrel stamped 6lb 8.
Best, Austin |

My '3' frame 10 gauge has barrels marked 6 pounds, 3 ounces.

Mike,
There are many reasons to use this forum and Austin and others are number one. I wasn't even thinking barrel weight in my responce just frame size. There are always those here who will "check your oil" if you are running a little slow like I do most of the time. Now how about some pictures? Kindest, Harry |

I appreciate all of the comments you’ve given me, I’ve never owned a Parker before and welcome all the knowledge I can get on this fine shotgun. Any thoughts on removing the broken left hammer screw? I was thinking on drilling it out and re-threading the hole.
Thanks Mike |

Hammer Screw Removal
It might be possible to grip that remaining piece of screw head with " needle nose " vise grips which are probably available at a good hardware store. Soak the visible piece of the threads with oil overnight before trying it. Penetrating oil may remove old color if it gets on the surface.
E Z Out makes reverse direction drills; if you have a reversible drill this may work; the small E Z outs are also available at good hardware stores. I have removed hammer screws and a frame screw from lifters this way. The frame screw had lost all hardness and crumbled both when I tried a screw driver, and when I tried to turn the E Z out; I was able to pick the pieces from the hole and the threads remained intact. You may have to clamp the hammer as well as the lock when you drill, to keep the lock axle in place. Best, Austin |

May also be replacement hammers. Grade 2 hammers should have some nice engraving on them. The 5 frame 10 with 32" bbls has a pre-struck bbl weight of 7 ... something...
Good luck getting the old girl out shooting again. They are a joy to shoot. Kurt
