Don't get me started on Cabelas ! ... Especially the Lacey Washington store ! ... As far as I'm concerned, they're the most DISHONEST, LYING, SOB's on the planet ! ... They SCREWED me out of a Parker 14 gauge back action gun AFTER I'd put the money on my Visa Card ... They gave the gun to a buyer who was second in line behind me ... The gun was rightfully mine because I'd already put my money up. But the "managers" at the Lacey store refused to correct THEIR employee's error and and opted for doing the most convenient thing, FOR THEM ... which was refunding my money ... I went all the way up the chain of command and called the HMFIC over ALL of Cabala's Gun Departments at their corporate headquarters in Nebraska but the guy didn't care what was RIGHT and refused to un-do errors made by his idiot employees at the Lacey store ... Needless to say, I'll probably never do business with Cabelas again ... NUFF SAID !

Default "Head Mister Foster In Charge?" at the "Big-C"-- huum

Cabela's Gun library and their incompetent sales staff are a joke- Now Bass Pro joins that group too. Can't see an ejector axle pin on a Parker as you can on an LC Smith or Ithaca- but if it is a VH, then it is a non-ejector, if a VHE thaen an ejector- simple as that--Wonder who the clown was in that 100 year old "family" that decided to put their "coat of arms" shield on the stock cheeks?? What a joke at $2900--and both barrels at .010" chokes- huum?? Wonder if that was a factory special order back then??

I would suspect that the "Coat of Arms" is hidding a pin through the head of the stock. As an aside we have seen in the Parker order books the quote"Pin stock head" I would love to see a documented Parker with the pinned stock head done in Meriden.

Dave, there was one on Gun Broker about a year ago with a PGCA letter stating the request for pinned stock. Scott has a 2 frame 10 ga. GH that has same pin and there is no sign of it needing it, the gun is in real high condition.

Default Now the plot thickens--

I received my letter on the 1908 PH 16- 26" twist on the O frame- the stock is almost unmarred, checking unboogered- and it has a hardwood pin through the cheeks- recessed- dead on center- wonder if it was factory done- when I opened the gun up to replace the top lever leaf spring, the stock head had NO cracks or stress lines anywhere I could see- even with a magnifier-

Sounds like a great research concept for us- if any of the records show that, ditto the hickory or other hardwood dowel in the butt end- I didn't remove the DHBP- it is the early spurred version, and it look like it grew out of the wood- but I am curious indeed..
