New user/ Trying to ID a Parker Bro. SXS 12 Guage

[B. Dudley]

The barrel flat order numbers were being phased out by this time. The numbers are less than 2,000 apart. And Parker was making that or more each year of production.

The last 17,000 series gun I owned had no order number on it.
Also, guns made for inventory likely did not have order numbers stamped on them. Just my thought. This gun being an 0 grade could have been a gun made for inventory.

Some early lifters with the "No radius frame" were prone to cracking and were rebuilt at the factory with the new radius frame design. I would think that Parker would have serial numbered the new frame to the original barrels but maybe this is not the case.

A research letter will not do any good to explain this. The order books show two separate guns made, not a repair to replace the frame.

Thanks for the link for disassembling my shotgun. I have it taken apart. I don't think it has ever been cleaned. Now the trick is to put it back together...

Good morning. Thanks for you help with my Parker.
I took it apart to clean it and am having a hard time re installing the firing pins. Any ideas as to how to get them to line up with the hole? Thanks, Bill
