new parker owner w/pics

It is a P and together with the S it is the stamp for Parker Special Steel barrels.

To the right of the S is HT over A believed to indicate Heat Treated Annealed.

Thanks Dean I could not make out the mark with my computer.

It looks to my eye like I see a Remington era repair code of the left barrel flat, just along the left side of the lug -- something something 3?

Since the latest issue of Parker Pages perhaps the HT over A means Hang Tag Attached.

I was looking at getting a letter, but when I typed in the serial number it told me there were no records for my gun. Does that mean I shouldn't bother? Or are there other sources of info to base research on?

I was also just looking at some pics in other albums. I noticed that some stocks have what appears to be a metal 'shield' pressed into the butt stock on the bottom. What is that about? Mine does not have one.

Dave, that was one theory before Dave Suponski sent pictures of the barrel flats that accompanied Charlie's article. HT/A appears on that very unfinished 'in the rough' set of barrels, so that theory was pretty much dismissed... but there is no definite proof of the Heat Treated Annealed thoery yet either.

I just want to thank you all for your help current and future. I bought the gun to be a shooter, you know nice days in the field, maybe on the water for ducks. I have been pleasantly surprised with all the findings to this point. I will continue to post when I get out and shoot it.

Sorry Jason, G & H does not have any records for your gun.
