Looked like it to me Brian but I couldn’t read the word Miller.

Something about Parker hammer guns vs single triggers and beaver tail fore ends that just don't mix

Now Remington era . . . another story

Stan,
I assume you restocked it for shoot-ability and dimensions? The new comb does look a bit higher than the original one. The stock work looks perfect, great form!

Thanks Brian,

Since the existing stock was not original, I wanted to make it true to what a Grade 3 would look like.

The letter stated that it would have had a skeleton butt plate, so we added that and I also copied the Grade 3 Ball grip from the 12 that I currently have.
Now this gun I don’t believe had a completely checkered ball grip from new, but I just really admire the fully checkered Parker ball grip.

The reason I don’t think this originally had the fully checkered ball grip, I had the good fortune of connecting with a fellow member who has the consecutive serial number to this gun which is also a 16 Lifter. These 2 16 gauge lifters were ordered by the same gentleman in 1879, and the letter shows they were pretty much ordered as identical guns.
The replacement stock dimensions had a fair amount of drop, but I shot it fairly well surprisingly. I did bring the new stock dimensions closer to some of the other lifters I currently use.

Phil Carr, what can you tell us about the Baltimore Arms Co. gun in the background in your last picture?

Dave I just read your post right now. I did not realize the gun was in this picture. Kind of crazy.
I just sold this gun on the Fox forum this morning. Fell for a very rare rifle I had to have, so a few will need to go to another caretaker.
Like a Sultan on a budget I want them all but only a few are forever.
