I've been at the stockmaking trade for 33 years, I'm 53, starting when I was 20. I've specialized in returning the classic American doubles back to factory specs. I'm a touch anal retentive about wood to metal fit, checkering style, size, pattern, ( I've figured out the Parker border, there's a name for it nice fellow told me the other evening by the name of Charlie Herzog, I've lost it already ), so I can make the forend, but I have a buttstock to make on this one as well.
Nuther question. This Parker does not have the concave border. Did Remington drop it? Or did Parker drop it sometime before the sale to Remington? Jerry
I've specialized in the L.C. Smith guns mainly, especially the dreaded Hunter One Trigger and the ejectors, both absolute nightmares of engineering! A.E. Lard, God rest his soul, must have experimental with opiates or at least some funny mushrooms to dream that thing up and put it into production. I can make them work however, I've installed many of them from scratch, same with the ejectors. I think I've restocked 200 + L.C. Smith guns to date.
PS. All numbers match on the Parker
