Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Hi Sanjay - I replied to the other post you made but I will tell you I live in Andover, about 20 miles north of Boston.
Have you tried a lace-on boot for your gun? It should give you as much as 3/4" in length.
Your VH sounds like it is in original condition and gun stocks of 13" were made by Parker Bros by request. But on a 2 frame with 30" barrels it seems pretty unlikely that the 13" LOP is original.

Thanks dean - I shoot it normally with a slip on silicone boot, but might invest in a nicer leather pad that ties on, as most of my guns are a fraction short for me.
I agree - it's an odd stock length for the long barrels. That said, it clearly used to have a recoil pad attached - there are dowel marks on the butt - but I think it is the original stock length, or was shortened professionally. What sort of checkering on the butt do parkers normally have? This has simple line checkering
