Parker Stock Dimensions...

Gary Nokes · 07-08-2024, 09:20 PM

Hello,

What are the dimensions, height and width, of the front of the buttstock where it mates to the receiver of a #2 Frame hammerless shotgun??? I have been looking for a good used stock for a #2 Frame DH for quite a while now. The #2 Frame Parkers that I do have wood for measure 1.800 wide x 2.00 inches tall. Is this normal? I have been burned several times in the past few years with someone selling me beautiful stocks that are supposedly from #2 Frames, but both have measured 1.750 wide x 1.93 tall, which is too small for my guns... Were these for #1 1/2 frames? Does anyone have a good #2 Frame DH buttstock out there that they are willing to part with? Thank you very much for your help.

Best Regards,
Gary Nokes

The Parker Story has a chart of receiver dimensions. I can't recall the page number. The chart has probably been posted on this site also.

The Parker Story has a chart of receiver dimensions. I can't recall the page number. The chart has probably been posted on this site also. Woops, it's page 527 in TPS.

That chart, also shown in the Serialization book, only covers the front of the frame. My recollection is the head dimensions of the 1 1/2, and 2 frame are the same. As in many things lately, I could be misrecollecting that too.

Edgar, I know that the TPS chart on page 527 does not cover all dimensions. I don't know why that is, but I didn't want to throw a monkey wrench into my reply. Maybe the best reply would be to tell the OP what the dimensions are that he needs. Oh, he has a #2 frame gun in his possession that he can measure. Problem solved.

Those are the dimensions I just measured on a 1 frame gun.

Hello Bill and Edgar,

Thank you for your input. The people I bought the stocks from merely had a box of parts and assured me, obviously without evidence, that the stocks they had came from #2 Frame Parkers... Once bitten, twice shy! Do either of you know of anyone who might have a suitable #2 Frame buttstock?

Best Regards,
Gary
