I can renew it to your preferred configuration or restore to factory configuration, your choice, shooting it is for you to find out about barrels limitations. I'm sure it's possible just you have to know what loads are safe for it.

P1010554.jpg P1010555.jpg any feed back would be welcomed Dave Fjelline is working to locate the missing parts (what a nice guy, I enjoy just talking to him he's got some great stories) and keeps me updated on any new info on the gun itself.

Looks like a very worthwhile project, especially with the family connection.
I Know that there are others here with a ton more expertise than me, but IMO, I would salvage the metal, and restock back to the traditional Parker style of the day. I wouldn't want to condemn the trigger guard as incorrect out of hand, but would examine it carefully for signs of modifications. There's likely to be some evidence of welding/modification in the hidden areas on the backside. |

That stock is in the traditional style of the day. The only thing I would question is the strange trigger guard strap..... Get a Research Letter on that gun - it may just hav been ordered that way or returned for that modification.
A stock of mine which is also a gun of that particular era. Note the similarity in the nose of the comb. Next is a wonderful example of what Parker Bros. would do to a trigger guard strap upon request. .
