I agree but a 34" gun is much rarer than a 32" 12 gauge. I think both those guns are overpriced but you aren't going to see many 34" grade 3 Parkers on the market.

Too bad the chokes are open. Otherwise, that would make a sweeeet clays gun. Since nothing is original, put Brileys in it and have a Parker target crushing machine!

Turnbulls may have done the casecolors on that Parker. The vent rib and buttstock have been covered. The lack of mullered borders, the early style receiver with a vent rib, floor plate doen't fit the wood correctly under the trigger guard, floor plate screws are not qualified or flush, forend wood has been replaced with what appears black walnut, color of wood on the buttstock doesn't match forend, finishes front to rear on the wood don't match. Preservation was no factor in restoring this gun but profit was.

While the action may have been done by Turnbull I don't think there is any chance the barrels or wood were done by his shop. Call him if you do not agree and perhaps he can tell you what he did if you are a potential buyer of this gun. You might also ask the seller for the receipt of the Turnbull work that was done. This gun is a restored POS in my opinion and the seller advertising it as a Turnbull restore seems very odd to me as he is well aware of what Turnbull work is. I would run away from this gun at any price. JMO.

Yes Pat. I feel the same way. POS.


Who said it was turnbull restored anyway. The ad does not mention turnbull.

I see all the time guns that are advertised as turnbull restored and I know the guns never were in their shop. To some people, new case colors, regardless of quality or appearance means “turnbull”. And then the broad brush is used to paint the gun.

I agree that the colors on the gun are good and likely are turnbull. That is about all the gun has going right for it. But I was wondering where it came from that the gun was in fact colored by turnbull.

[Randy Roberts]

Agreed, the seller knows better but....

Brian, the ad does mention Turnbull. Good as the colors may appear to some, they appear a bit muddy to me. I only have one gun done for me at Turnbull's and it makes the 34" gun look a bit less "nice".

Gosh... of course... right in the darn title!!! And I was focusing on the description.

If I remember right all factory ribs had part of the ser number stamped on the bottom side of the rib, about the second or third post from the breach, been a while since I had one but it was stamped that way, Gary

That's right Gary and I think on the left side of the rib
