Thanks for the input. I am on assignment and will post some pics in a couple of weeks when I get home. Fortunately the stock was not cut; however the wood where the very old butt pad was installed was very marred. I was able to raise it with steam and sanded it with 400 grit paper. I am very patient and carefull and had this on my bench for six months. I really love the fiddle and beauty of these old walnut stocks. Since I am going to continue to use the gun I will probably put a limbsaver on it. I put a limbsaver on my Encore blackpowder and it removed 50% of the kick. Yes, I only shoot low base dove and quail loads and sometimes pheasant and grouse loads.
I am looking forward to learning a lot more about Parkers and hope to purchase another one, even one that needs restoration.
Thanks again!
