Parker Bros 12 Gauge SxS

[George Lander]

Neil: As Robert said, most of the value in your gun is in the barrels which were 32 inches when they left the factory and were 4 pounds 14 ounces unstruck weight. You gun also had a straight stock when new. The barrel lug & forearm iron can be replaced and new wood fitted to original specifications. Your gun was completed in 1923. The engraving, of course, is non-original. Considering the barrels, your gun might be worth restoring.

Best Regards, George

It would not be hard to locate an old forend for this gun through the Parts for Sale section. I would guess that someone like Keith Kearcher would have a forend lug in his junk box and could resolder it to the barrels for a reasonable price. The only dimension for the forend you are looking for that you need to identify it is the width at the point the forend joins the action. It must be an extractor forend. Easy project.
