Phil,
67057 is not listed in the Parker ID & Serialization book. What makes you think that it has ejectors? Try posting a pic of the breech end of the barrels and the front of the receiver. It looks like your gun is in need of a complete set of wood but the metalwork seems in relatively good shape. How long are the barrels? Looks like you have a pretty good project gun there. Carl. |

If I understand terminology, the ejector is the "T"-shaped mechanism between the breaches that moves out when the gun is opened, right?
Haven't measured the barrels yet. Will do this afternoon. |

Phil,
Welcome to the PGCA forum. Your Parker PH 16 gauge has seen alot of use. If it were mine, anything done to restore it would depend upon the condition of the barrels. Are they pitted? How deep are the pits? Do the barrels have dents, how many and how deep? What it boiles down to is could the gun be shot and used. There were many PH's made and they are low grade. Looking at what you have shown us you might be able to sell it for about $250. To replace the stock would cost about $1,000. The stock can be repaired for much less than that, however we must go back to the barrels to know if the gun can be used. Otherwise hang it above the fireplace. The curved top lever was left over from hammer gun production. It allowed the gun to be oppened with a cocked hammer. Please give us some better pictres and tell us about the barrels. Kindest, Harry |

Harry,
I doubt anything could be done to save the wood. It appears as though pieces are missing and from what I can tell from Phil's photos the wood is well below the metal. You are correct that the condition of the barrels will determine if the gun is worth restoring. |

I did spend some time looking over the barrels and they're the best part of the gun. There's no pitting that I noticed (without a magnifying glass) and the only dent is about the size of a nail tip (not head). I thank you guys for your information. This gun was left to my nephew by his deceased father. He gave it, along with several other guns, to me and I wanted to fix it up and give it back to him (even if only to hang over his fireplace).

You guy sound like you've got plenty of experience with these guns. Good to know since I am the type of guy who likes to ask questions...hope you don't mind.
Knowing what you've told me in the past 24 hours, I'm starting to shift my attention from dollar amount to restoration/use. Thanks, and as I said there will be more questions to come. In fact I already have one. Someone said replacement stocks would cost $1000. Is there a less expensive option should I decide to just return it to a status for use/hunting? |
