Parker Try-Gun Research Continued...

[Researcher]

The checkering pattern on the grip of the gun in Chris' picture is a GH-Grade checkering pattern.

[Bill Murphy]

Dave, yup, it's a G Grade with an original G Grade stock and the Curtis mechanism installed on the cut off stock. It is a very ingenious design that makes the Parker factory try gun look way more expensive and complicated than it has to be. Chris, can we establish a time line between the Curtis try mechanism and the Parker mechanism? I have a feeling that there is an overlap, and the powers that be at Dupont just wouldn't invest in the Parker Try Gun or maybe Parker would not sell their gun to Dupont.

I have looked at the photo and compared it to the Parker made Try-gun and I don't see where there is any adjustment possible on the Curtis for cast on/off.
Is there?

[Bill Murphy]

I have never used them, but I think two screws allow the top part of the stock to be moved right and left.

Bill- can you bring your Curtis Try-Gun to the Annual Meeting? If you will. I will bring my Parker Try-Gun as well.

[Bill Murphy]

Yeah, I will bring it. Have your camera ready.

Just a reminder to bring your try-gun. I can't wait to see it.
