Well it's not a Parker, but...
Just had to pick up this Joseph Lang 12 bore when I came across it recently. The very good bores measure .725 and .728, and are choked cylinder and modified respectively. She weights 6.9 lbs. Overall it is a very solid gun with no major issues. I need to fit a new hinge pin to put it back on face, and slightly re-shape and re-engrave the right hammer which is a fairly close replacement. The barrels ring like a church bell, and there are no major wood problems to speak of. The barrels deserve a refinishing, and I haven't decided on how far I want to restore the rest of the metal/wood. She sure would like nice with a new color case, with cleaned wood and refreshed checkering. What do you guys think?
Can't wait to take her out after grouse and woodcock this fall.
