Nice find Brian. Below is a picture I took from a site about walnut tree processing for gunstocks. It clearly shows how stocks should be cut with straight grain through the grip.

Default My Parker reproduction

This is my first reproduction, early 28 gauge.
26” English stock, single trigger. I look foreword to chasing grouse and woodcock this fall. I shot some preserve birds this winter with it and I believe it will make a fine grouse gun.

Posted this before in another thread, but this is from my reproduction that Brian Dudley completely redid.

Some people have ask about the set of 30" barrels for a Repro. Here is the wood on the gun. It has 30" and 28" barrels and is a steel shot special. 28" barrels of course have IC & mod chokes. The 30" barrels have Briley thin wall choke tubes. I'm not sure if this was an option at the time but the only other 30" set that I personally know of also has the Briley thin walls. Neat thing about this gun is it comes with both splinter and beavertail forend and they are interchangeable for either barrel. Those 30" barrels really swing well.

Here is my other 12 gauge which is also a two barrel set 26" Q1 & Q2 and 28" IC & Mod. This gun was redone by Mr. Bachelder and I love the case colors.

John; it’s totally subjective but that may be the most spectacular piece of wood that I have ever seen on a Repro. Wow.
