I sure like the stock! Can you get a letter? The gent who ordered it had a purpose for it. I had a 213xxx 34" gun with straight stock that could have been this guns twin with that FAT Trap forend.

Yeah, the wood has been worked over a bit.

But it sounds like it fits well and shoots for you. Good deal.

Default 34" Gun

Congratulations on your great Parker there Jay,

The drop of the comb reminds me of an Ithaca Magnum I used to own, the drop at the leading edge of the comb was more than the drop at heel. I suppose this was a way of directing recoil away from the cheek?

Yours may be almost the same in drop at both points, kinda hard to tell from the pics.

Stan

Charlie, the chambers are 3" and I was thinking the same thing...this gun could definitely reach out there.

I did order a letter today and will share what I find out.
