Parker 20 Gauge VHE Question

[David Noble]

I hope that gun belongs to you now. If not, I want it!
Are you sure that stock has been cut? Using the triangular ruler in your picture, the stock measures right on 14 inches and the new replacement measures 16 3/4! And, I see the original stock sports the correct spur butt plate.
Nice gun and very unusual configuration.

[EdSartell]

Yes I bought this today. I'm praying that stocks perfectly, so far so good. The existing stock is 13 3/4" from the front trigger. I need 14 1/4-3/8. Gun & Stocks $2400.

Dean you & I have a mutual friend.... Bill P. from Nahant. The three of us should get together for a few rounds of skeet. Danvers or Reading would be fine.

Have you considered using a lace on or other leather pad to extend the LOP so you use the original stock?

Ed, it really does look like 14" roughly. Are you measuring from the front trigger?

I can't wait to see your new VHE. You can shoot skeet at my club with me as my guest.

You have my number... call me and we can plan on a time and day.

Ed,

Have you measured the distance between the firing pin centers on this gun yet?

[Dean Romig]

Wow - small world!! Lets get together soon. I shoot skeet Wednesday evenings and our new 5-stand range on Monday evenings both at Danvers. They both begin at 5 p.m.

Or Reading... it doesn't matter to me. Are the boys at Reading okay with me shooting Damascus guns?

[EdSartell]

Dean,
That sounds great. Unfortunately I recently had surgery to re-attached a right bicep tendon to my forearm... I'll need a week ...

I hope this gun comes to The Vintage Cup. I'd love to see it.

I think the boy's want a picture like this to see how heavy the breech end of the barrels are --

[Autumn Daze]

Exactly....Thank You Dave.
