Hi Unregistered,

On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...

So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.

Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...

I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..

John D.

nice find- but be careful you do not end up in a money pit situation

please do not take this wrong - you can have a great shooter here

however

a repaired 2 frame 12 V grade is not going to be a high value gun- and repairs are not inexpensive (30" barrels?)

if it is off face - absolutely fix that - it will just get worse. -

the stock has been pinned - likely due to a split inside the head. if the wood is solid - it can be repaired better and with a veneer of walnut to hide the bolt hole it will look better

the other option it to find a good take off stock - it will likely need a little fitting- but its much more reasonable for this gun than a new stock

other than that - shoot it and enjoy it
