That's beautiful Stan! There is nothing better than a lifter that takes yellow shells

shucks Stan, you blocked off your score--I know it would be better than mine. What a beauty. I did go 1 for 1 on a big turkey this morning, pictures to follow on another thread. See you at Hausmann's

Dean,

This is my first Parker with Laminated Parker barrels, they are quite pretty, but of course I’m biased.

I’m not so sure you wouldn’t have topped my score Harold, I really was struggling to adjust to too many different guns or that is my excuse

Yes Jay, you’re correct on the yellow shell guns, I hope we can shoot them together at Hausmans.

We had great fun, many beautiful guns and I was able to put faces to names, met a number of fellow Parker members.

Hope to see everyone at Hausmans,

Stan

Hello and good morning Stan, I am new to this and just purchased a 32" 10gauge Damascus Parker Brothers shotgun 1880 date. Where can I get a new stock for it?

Default Stock Maker

Hello Joseph and Welcome,

There is a handful of good stock makers out there, our own Brian Dudley is a very accomplished stock maker.
If you give your approximate location, I believe we can make a recommendation on a stock maker that may be close to you to potentially make logistics easier.
The gentleman who restocked my 16 wishes to remain anonymous due to his workload being manageable.

Congratulations on your purchase, please share some pictures!

Stan

You will have to find someone who will restock your double. If the stock is damaged and can be repaired, that'll cost much less. Even if you happen to find a stock from another gun, you'll still need to have it fit by someone that knows what they are doing. A new stock will cost you easily $2000 and up.

Hello and good evening Stan,
I appreciate your patience and advice on this shotgun. I am new to this and not even sure it is worth getting repaired? I hope that the pictures help everyone with my decision. Thanks again, I am near San Antonio, Texas

The gun is a grade 2 lifter in relatively poor condition. The stock had been broken at some time. And someone felt the need to fox what was not broken and add a very long piece of metal to the top tang to help hold the stock together or to help prevent future breakage. I have seen various examples of this many times before.

When it comes to that area and the wood, the only route to take is to reverse what was done and completely replace the wood. That alone would cost many times more than the gun is “worth” given its cosmetic condition. Add on top of that the other issues the gun may have, and well, you can figure it out from there.

It is a 4 frame 10g which is a little different. That would be a heavyweight 10g. The standard frame size for 10s was 3.
