parker gun part swapping

[Leighton Stallones]

A friend of mine here in Texas told me several years ago about his Parker
GH that he hunted Pheasants with in Kansas when he lived in Missouri.
However ,he said someone had put replacement stocks on it and they did not fit him well,but he was ok with them. A few months ago, I saw him at a shoot in New Braunfels and he told me an amazing story.
He was visiting relatives in Kansas City and his nephew drug him down to the Cabelas store. He noticed a big box of shotgun stocks and found a buttstock
and foreend that looked like they would fit his Parker and the serial numbers looked close. He said that he called his wife at home and asked her to look at the serial numbers on his Parker to see how close they were.
They were the same serial numbers as his gun and he bought them of course and left in a daze.
Evidently, Bishop, Fajen or another Missouri stocker had done the work on his gun and sold the excess old stocks to Cabelas.
True story.
