They're OK if your father put one on the stock of the Parker he bought from a local farmer in the 1950s, so it would fit him; and of the four Parkers he owned it was his go-to game-getter -- possibly because of that unorthodox alteration.


Heritage!

Russell, your gun sounds like a treasure. Beauty is as beauty was, and it was a beauty to your father.

I hate all guns that have been over sanded and poorly poorly re checkered.

Guns sanded down to the point there is no checkering left.

Pachmayr pad with that ugly as sin white line spacer! They're OK for a rifle, but they scream "below average trap shooter" to me. I'm fine with replacement pads that are not period correct, but that white line jumps out and grabs my eyeballs and will not let go. That's the first thing I do on a "new" Parker if it has one. Otherwise, I can tolerate a lot in a solid gun that breaks clays and kills birds.

Hawkins or Silvers. Plus it’s an easy way to gain LOP.

Buggered-up screws, pads on a small-bore, pads in general...
