This gun has had quite a bit of work done to it over the years. The stock was changed to add a cheek piece but that is documented in the Parker records. A beaver tail for-end was added and it appears to be factory work. The for-end iron is definetly for a beaver tail and it has the reinforcement rod. A vent rib was added and it is matted as a Parker rib should be but with no inscription like most Remington Parker's. And the barrels are monobloc but still measure 34 inches in length as original. I know Delgrego did some work on it at some point. I also know that according to the stamped repair codes that the gun was sent to the Remington repair shop for work in 1939, 1940 and 1941. Just don't know what work was performed.

Investigation continues. JND
