Not a Parker but they shared a home..

Ilion, NY. My first (and surely not my last) Model 31. She arrived the day after I left for the Southern. "Ball Bearing Action" is pretty accurate. Special grade 16g. I might be in love. THANK YOU to Brian Hornacek for spending time educating me about these guns (I already jumped on it so he re-affirmed my suspicions about it).

My Dad's M31 is my duck gun. No treasure - The stock as replaced, as my dad had the original shortened. New wood was an original stock from SARCO. After Lead was forced on us, I had the full choke replace with a Briley choke. Dad's still with me in the blind. I also have a M31 20 gauge lightweight as my wet weather grouse gun

Thank you Dave I appreciate the resources.

Not marked “B” grade but I have to believe it is.

Smooth as warm butter. Will shuck a few in the coming days. It's choked modified so will be fun for clays. I just don't see many around. Likewise have been looking for a 16g corncob M37 in great shape but hard to come by. I called the Ithaca factory in OH about the new 28g M37. Have not seen one, I know one person who handled one and said it's all it should be. They told me they are backlogged so much they may not even take orders for new 28g guns until 2023 OR LATER.

The last owner is not aware of anything done to it, and I wonder if there are records for these. I haven't had time to dig into it.

That looks like a Model 31-TC stock to me. Checkering pattern, grip cap and Hawkins recoil pad all look Model 31-TC.

[Bill Murphy]

Yup, TC.

Not marked TC, however it has 2 barrels both numbered to the gun, SKEET VR 26”and TRAP VR Full 30”
Originally had a rock hard Mershon pad.
