Parker Hammer Gun Identification

I dunno Mike... at the time it seemed like the appropriate adjective...

This just make the "Skinny" list?!

You know, whoever cut and finished those barrel ends appears to have had some skills. Nicely beveled at the top and bottom ribs and the solder joint is smooth and clean. With the barrel length 18.5 inches, it makes me think this was cut sometime after the original NFA was enacted in the 30's, in an attempt to comply with the new law. I would keep it as my bedroom gun, if the chambers checked out at 2 5/8. Very nice lifter.

I noticed that too Mike, and I agree.

If they didn't, you could likely find 1 box of 2-1/2" shells somewhere. That would likely be at least 23 more than most people would actually ever use in their lifetime (allowing 2 shots for test firing).

I would need a letter from Chuck to believe it was a Wells Fargo gun

[Keith Sirmans]

I would get a letter as well. In the meantime I would enjoy shooting it

[Jim DiSpagno]

Go to EBay for a barrel and forend that might work for you

I used to do Cowboy Action Shooting many years ago. Before I had my first Parker. If I every got back into it this would be the shotgun I would use...a short barreled lifter.
