8 Guage 1888 Hammer Gun

Oh yea, I measured the chambers and got 3-1/4", is that typical?

Yes, 3 1/4" chambers are typical although Parker Brothers blueprints may specify 3 1/8" since they usually drill chambers 1/8" shorter than the shells the gun is meant to use.

I have a Parker 10 gauge hammer gun with a broken stock with Jim Kelly in Darlington, SC. He is supposed to be really good, but this is my first time using him and I just dropped the gun off. His number is 843 393-3931. He does a lot of stock work.

Well Mills: You'll be more than happy with Jim's work. He is the best IMHO. He restocked Bo-Whoop if that's any help.

That is how I first heard about him. It was a challenging job (stock was broken and there was a previous bad repair), but can't wait to see the results. The gun was all original otherwise
