Hadn't found the photos of grades in home page before. Thanks. The photo I posted looks a lot like the home pages indicate is grade D/3 - except for the straight shock vs pistol grip, but I suppose that variation was part of the original order. Maybe sometime I'll get a look at the water table.

The buttstock isn't original & it's an amateur attempt at stock work & checkering.

Advise you to steer clear of that one.

David, Dean: Thanks for helping me. I got my first Parker less than a year ago, so still learning. For sure I can now clearly see that the buttstock isn't authentic. Couple that with other anomalies, and I'v lost interest in it.

Good deals on bad guns........
Dean: you're quick and obviously know lots more about this gun than is said in this thread. Thanks again

With my years of observation and hands on examination it’s not difficult to see the flaws.

Blued frame. Destroyed screws. Horrid restock. The gun is a mess. It is a couple hundred dollar parts gun.
