Parker D grade Hammer Gun

[Bill Murphy]

The dimension of the bores and chokes will tell the story, but the PGCA letter is step one. I would never own such a gun without getting a letter of provenance. The original owner could be an interesting guy. Unfortunately, early ten gauges are hard to measure with Skeets or Galazan micrometers. Many of the early tens have bores over .800 and the usual bore micrometers will not measure quite that big. If the chokes are in place, these measuring devices will measure them OK. Some Parker barrels can be together at the muzzles after being cut quite a bit. Linda's DHE was cut from 32" or 30" to 26" and the muzzles still touch.

Your welcome there Dean-O but what is it your thanking me for? I confuse easily in the heat and humidity

Dean your keyboard activity seems dissoriented and shows early symptoms of Parkensons disease or perhaps Epilepsy.

I'll have a wiskey and pray for your speedy and complete recovery. In fact just for you Dean-O I'll have two wiskeys and pray you recover by bird season.

Right Rich....Does that confusion also happen after partaking of a certain amber liquid...

No, I can drink all the Ginger Ale my bladder can stand

I do have a container of Lynchberg's finest resting in the freezer. It's so hot and humid I didn't even want to venture outside for a good cigar and a cold beer
