I agree, Gary. Maxi Lites are just the shell for the early lifters. Also, I would not hesitate to buy a high grade lifter that was cracked. While I understand why those who knew where that $250 grade was being auctioned kept their cards close to their chest, I wish they had followed through.

This is my newest Parker. A grade 3, It's just after they changed to a radius at the water table/ standing breach. I didn't get a picture of it, but it has the whole 5 digit SN on the end of the rear barrel lug.

You dream bigger dreams than I. I was dreaming it was a 16, but it's really only a 12. Being a 1 frame, it feels like a 16.
Somebody give Gary a call and make sure he didn't have a heart attack.

Got it today !

The barrels appear to be uncut and the gun isn't as loose as I thought it was going to be . Should be no major problem to tighten it back up . Guns on a #3 frame and the bores have some small pits but not so bad .

It does however have a stock from some other brand gun that was made to work on this gun .
