Questions about a Parker VH Vulcan 12 ga

[Harold Pickens]

I agree with Edgar, it should be a great shooter. One of the guns I shoot the best is a Savage Fox Sterlingworth 16 ga that the barrels had been cut to 26 1/2 in. The stock is not original either, but is a much nicer piece of wood than the original forend. I new all this when I bought the gun, so I didnt overpay. It and my VH 16 are my go to bird guns. Shoot it and enjoy!!

Fitting a repro buttplate is a real pain. I would glue that broken piece to the stock and the rest of the buttplate. Make it a permanent glue job because there is no reason to remove a buttplate on a Parker. It looks like a great Parker for all around shooting.

Bill makes a good point on the buttplate. I am very partial to Brownells Acra Glas. A small kit will give years of repairs for the average person. Acra Glas has saved untold numbers of firearms and assisted in their resurrection! Here is a link. Good Luck!
