That cool. I only have 2 Parkers and they are both hammer guns. I can't afford the graded guns so I have to look for the wore out working mans models. lol.

Wow! That's a pretty tight choke.

That what I was thinking. Should make a good waterfowler.

Assuming Parker used #8 Tatham shot (399 pellets per oz.), and used 1 1/4 oz per shell, the total number of pellets per load was 498. That means it put almost 40% of the pellets in the 24" circle.

And at 45 yards too.

I have a similar gun , Parker o grade 10 gauge top lever hammer gun , 32 inch bbls ,steel butt plate , very high end mine has a broken butt stock so it is a wall hanger , as always if I can find a stock , a well used stock I would be happy , if you know of such an item I would appreciate a reply.
Rob the gun you have is all there , you own it right , it is a gun worth putting back in shooting condition , and it may be now . I don't know if you have any aspirations of shooting it , if you don't is fine , your gun is a nice solid desirable early Parker , one thing about a Parker they shoulder and point nicely.
Rob if you do nothing else Enjoy that old Parker!

Rob, let us know what Jerry says. He's a good guy to work with. Also, let us know how she shoots. If you take the time to work up different loads and pattern the gun you can make that 10 gauge do a lot of things. Their killing range is impressive.
