The barrels are the correct length, according to the ID & Ser book on both numbers you have listed. Extra length of Underlifter gun barrels is not uncommon... usually 1/8" - 1/4" longer than listed in the books. Where did that number on the barrels come from... the side of the lug or the barrel flats? The number on the barrel flats is almost always the order number for an Underlifter.

Thank you Dean, that explains things. I would have to see the gun again to check out the numbers on the barrels, but at least the barrels have not been cut, and may be the original barrels after all. I estimate the gun weighs in around 10 lbs.

I have said before, my experience is that old Parkers can be in really bad shape and still be salvageable.

Get it just right would be expensive make it shootable perhaps not so much. Barrels not cut gun not messed with is a plus. Yes or no for me would be the barrels conditon. If they are OK money invested in making the stock sound would be well spent. Parker thats not worth a lot is a nice thing to have sometimes.

Harold,
As you and I agreed on our pm as to a price, I would buy it in a minute and make it a shooter. As far as the choke, I'm betting the bores are larger than the standard .775 and there is choke in them even though they look to be I.C. I hate to see these old guns parted out when there is life in them. I would take it in just like an orphaned old bird dog that still wanted to hunt. I'm working up 2 5/8" loads as I write to shoot in a gun much worse looking than this. |

This gun is definately salvagable, as long as the barrels check out safely. The gent that has it, has no interest in ever trying to fix it up, but no real interest in getting rid of it either. I am talking to him tonight.

Not going to happen! My friend called this evening, and although he has no interest in the gun, he is not going to sell it.
