Challenge... I do have every part that is needed for that one. Minus a stock.

Sure dean... I think the tang should go right up over the comb and be part of the buttplate. Would it then be considered "Full Tang"?

.Hello All,
I have owned this particular Parker for close to 30 years. After seeing all the beautiful examples of restoration work on these pages, I've decided to try and bring this old girl back to it former glory.
My hopes are that I could get some advise as to which way to go. It is evident to me that someone had tried to restore it long before I acquired it. I bought it from a older woman who said that she only remembers it hanging over the mantel for as long as she can remember.
The stock looks like some one took a rasp to it as the wood is a good 1/32- of the metal. Other than that, the barrel ring very nicely, There is some pitting. Did I mention that it is 12 ga? 30" barrels and all in all in decent shape IMHO. The only stamps I can find are what looks like F.9.2. on inside the reciever, The top rib has " Parker Brothers,Meriden Conn
Damascus Steel.
Any help or information would greatly be appreciated.
Harry
