Parker hammerless stock repair
Hello Parker folks. I am a gunsmith in Las Cruces New Mexico and have a customer's 16 ga hammerless shooter that he just purchased and brought to me for repair. The stock has been attacked by some bubba with bedding paste and no idea what to do. I've had to fill and redrill the long screw under the latch and make a new screw. He also drilled the hole for the safety rod so far off it misses the safety arm all together. This is the first Parker I have seen. The push rod is notched to clear the screw that attaches the floor plate, and I wonder if that hole is drilled at an angle? I see that the rod is turned a smaller diameter on one end and assume it fits inside the safety arm housing. I would appreciate any thoughts and possibly a source for a new stock (if the customer agrees).
