Dennis,

The gun is on consignment in a local shop. I plan on going back with my bore gauge and asking the shop owner if I can speak to the current owner. The last three digits of the serial were very faint. But I believe the full number is 56,875.

The vent rib is a Simmons rib that was definitely added in the 1970s or later. I have an identical rib with the Simmons oval posts from that era on my Winchester M12 20ga custom.

Value is subjective, especially on modified guns which fall outside of the usual grading standards. Your price range tells me that, for you, the modifications have little value. Looks like the going price for a good to very good 12ga VH is $1,000-1,500. This is helpful to know if I decide to make an offer on this gun.

The feature that interests me is the Miller trigger. I am hoping to hear from someone who regularly shoots a Miller trigger Parker regarding reliability (inertia set using light target loads), possibility of doubling.

Cliff
