Moneymaker rib?

This is a really nice gun save for the vent rib. I am not a vent rib guy for SXS guns and this gun was much nicer without it in my opinion. I never noticed the "L" and "R" before on a Parker...are those factory?

Looks like a single trigger gun converted to double?

Hixie · 08-08-2019, 04:21 PM

I wonder if that hole behind the "R" under the trigger guard is a remnant from a single trigger?

It is.

Seems like for 16k you could get a lot nicer Parkers .
The seam where the vent rib starts looks pretty crude , like the original was cut off at that point and that new one tacked into place .

It isn't a pretty sight. If it is a real factory 34" gun, it might be worth a couple of grand to remove the rib and reinstall a solid rib. Where would you get such a thing?

A original rib or just one made to look like the original ?
Merrington can make a new rib for 500$+
I would think the dolls head could be made to look better too by having material added then properly shaped .

At an asking price of $16,900 this would not qualify for a project. It would not bring that price if the rib was right.
