New user/ Trying to ID a Parker Bro. SXS 12 Guage

Any gun of that age is likely going to be fired with care these days and with he right loads.
I would not think cracking of these frames today should be of any concern.

Though cracking in this area my well have been observed over the years, I am not aware if Parker made the change as a precautionary measure or as a reactionary measure. That topic is likely subject for speculation.

Read the "Parker Story." I have seen several. In fact one cracked frame lifter was at last years Vintagers in Rhode Island.
