Nor is the forend.
If you think it’s original, a PGCA research letter would certainly address it. .

There’s no code for a Monte Carlo stock, but there is for ‘wide’ (beaver tail) fore end. Had that been original the gun would have optioned code 11. It’s listed as a 2, so was a conventional splinter fore end ejector gun, far more desirable than it is now. That butt stock would be destined for the wood stove if it were mine.

If the Parker Gun Identification & Serialization Book is correct, it is listed as having a capped pistol grip. No mention of a Monte Carlo type stock.
Other information listed are V grade; 20 gauge; ejectors; 28" barrels. The stock certainly meant something to STG... |

The serial number on the forend match the receiver and barrel, and totally agree on burning the stock. What $$$ should I offer gunshop, and where do I get stock?

That has to be one of the poorest restocks on a doublegun that I have seen. Barf…
Thats a $500 barreled action if I ever seen one.

I classify this type of gun as a run-don't walk gun. Keep your money in your pocket and run from it as fast as you can. I don't want to pop a member's bubble, but I also feel the need to tell it like it is. There's just too many nice ones out there in this price range to be taking on someone else's train wreck of a restock. Bottom line--Don't make their problem, your problem! |

I honestly don’t believe the seller would ever accept an offer for what that gun is truly worth. He’s probably into it for a lot more than it’s true value. .

Tough crowd here, but I've always focused on the finish line, not the race (as Brian well knows
 )A 28" 0 frame 20 is a joy to hunt with, and shoot. If someone offered me a barreled action, such as this, for $500, I'd be delighted. |
