First Parker help

Looks like whoever put it in a vise to hold it while they abused it wonder if the opposite side is the same ? Thank God they didn't put it in the skinny way

I think you got it... vise jaws. I did not think of that.

And clamped down by a gorilla.

Hopefully cleaning and oiling it is all it needed. I can't see anything around the cocking slide that looks screwed up, other than the obvious things in the photos. It's sliding just fine now. I hope I don't need to remove the slide to clean further and/or make any more extensive repairs. Will cross that bridge if/when I have to, I guess.

Hoping to just shoot and enjoy the gun now. This is the raffle gun that was for sale here. Maybe I can go ahead and cut the butt flat to put a modern kickpad on it now??

Just kidding!

I wouldn't cut the stock. You can mount a pad (I used a KickEzz) and cut a plug out of the center of the pad, drill a hole through the hard plastic spacer, and use a screw to draw the center of the pad to the wood. You can also heat up the pad to make it flexable before mounting. I can't remember if it was Brownell or Midway that sold the plug cutter. Or, put on a slip on pad.

Yes sir. I know. That was just a joke, carried over from the long Raffle Gun thread.

This is the Raffle gun that went on and on ?

[Shane Jennings]

Yes

Everyone was carrying on and on about altering an original gun. I knew all along that the gun was not completely original. Personally I felt like if the owner wanted to alter it, then he should do it.
