Lifter Questions

[Austin W Hogan]

Jack : first thanks; your article is on its way to the Autumn Parker Pages.

Second; if the muzzle ID is .720 and the wall thickness is .050 at the muzzle, you probably have a regular set of Parker barrels in the serial range 5000 - 70000 with .750 bore diameter and .032 choke. If that bore diameter is 4 inches or more behind the muzzle, it may be a 14 ga gun.

Best, Austin

Thanks Austin. This season will be a bit of fun as I will be putting a few new guns to work in the field. Hopefully all the bureaucracy is satisfied before the end of the season so I can give the lifter a go as well.

Best regards,

Jack,Will your restoration gun be ready for the fall?

Dave: As far as metal parts go, I could re-assemble today (tomorrow, next week, next month) all depending on what's happening in life. I have not dealt with the wood or the poor old butt plate. I'm still thinking I will take a couple roosters with it this year. I'm also thinking I will use it for pictures to build a disassembly-reassembly manual with instructions for the non-gunsmith. We'll see about that maybe during the winter.
Cheers,
Jack
