Beat up AH Grade 6

[Fishtail]

I wouldn't restore it either....the finished product would be less than 51% Parker.

It would be a fun gun to use as a shooter - you can bet no oneelse would show up with one like it.

What's with the right barrel where it joins the breech? Why is that line so wavy?

I too was wondering that. Almost makes it look like it has side clips.

Hello everyone, Thanks for all the tips and information. I figured out that my photo file was too big to post. I'm sure that there is a sure-fire way to post them, but it's beyond me.

I did figure out, and tried it successfully, that I can e-mail one high quality photo at a time. They can be enlarged, and they show great detail

If anyone wants to see a few, just email me at jht3944@suddenlink.net. Let me know what portion of the gun you wish to see, or several areas, and I'll send them to you one at a time.

Thanks again, Johnny T.

I think that the old gal received a bad knock there. Eveything fits fine, so I'm not sure.

Is that a name engraved on the grip cap?

Well I am now the proud owner of this gun!!
This morning I went to a gun show in Snyder, TX and the first set of tables I viewed had this 12 G AH for sale. Careful examination did show it to be in very bad, but yet, potentiially shootable condition. The current owner had all the PGCA thread and Letter. The gun is true to the Parker Letter Chuck Bishop provided in April: 30' barrels, RH Mod/LH Close (????), engraved grip cap (" S A Pace" ), 15" LOP to SBP, 3 1/2" DAH. The gun is on a 2 Frame with unstruck barrel weight of 4#15oz. Bores are rough, but I don't think I will hesitate to shoot with Maxi Lite RSTs once I tighten it up.
Ironically this is one of the few times I've traveled without my workshop of gauges and tools nor cash. We worked a price and payment method and after about 4 hours of of indecision on my part the gun is with me at my ranch in Colorado City.
I am considering a complete quality restoration true to factory original. Lots of time for that decision and saving the vast wealth needed to accomplish.
