Aah!

I think Dave has told me that before too...

The older I grow - the closer I come to being able to honestly say "I've forgotten more about Parkers than . . .

And just to muddy the water a little more.....The same holds true with the E designation. Early 10 gauge guns made to about 1900 were E Grades after that they were all designated G grades regardless of gauge....

I have to go clean my Beretta O/U now....

wow i had no idea there were other designations for the typical h's vh ch ah etc depending on the guage. interesting...i guess it's a bit of a rarity considering 608 produced. so basically in the condition it's in; one would be better to use it than try and refinish. Even if it's a quality restoration?

thanks for the info btw...i think i'm soon going to get the parker story and take my interest to the next level.

Julian,
Just my two cents worth...but judging by the pictures and after a carefull inspection I would just use the old girl for her intended purpose sans any kind of restoration.

There are many recipes for low pressure 10 gaige loads out there or just buy some low pressure shells from our good friends over at RST Shotshell
