Welcome Jerry!!! Please post some pics. We love seeing "new" Parkers. We would likely be able to tell if the stock was cut. First thing you'll want to do is have the gun checked over by a competent sxs Smith. Wall thickness throughout the barrels is first and foremost. Overall function and wood condition(cracks, splits, chips) would be next. Grade 1 or P grades are kinda scarce with ejectors. Recommend a low load shell(6500 psi) if everything checks out. Good luck!

Welcome. I love the PH grade. As Dean suggested, be sure to have the gun checked out and shoot the load pressures the gun was designed for once it passes inspection.

And by all means, post some photos!

Thanks for the reply Dean. I don't seem to be able to attach pictures to my posts. I get an error message that the files are not allowed. I down sized the jpg files to within the parameters, but no go.
