Any variation in width would be no more than the variation in finishing from gun to gun.

Bruce will not elaborate, so i will.

The difference one will observe between the two guards that Bruce posted is a function of the grade of gun. Not the gauge or frame size as originally questioned.
Grades B and higher had their guards more finely finished and thinned out in the rear of the bow.

All true.

I just have a few old beaters so that I go road hunting with my buds, chase down my bird dogs and shoot those little birds up along the Canadian border.

The pictures Bruce posts are wonderful. I wonder how he has access to so many great Parkers. Incredible. Maybe all the guns are his. The only thing wrong with that picture is the towel it is on. It should be yellow or a nice a nice mullti colored paisley.

That is a vintage towel Bruce was lucky enough to pick up at a K Mart blue light special back in the day. It’s secret lies in the fact that any gun laid upon it looks better than the background.

If you need guards, I have a whole drawer full of guards from various grades of guns. Granted the engraved serial number would not match, but I can at least get you the proper guard for the grade. I am a little thin on straight grip guards right now.

FYI on the galazan straight grip guards. They are Parker Repro guards. and the length is different from original guards. By about 1/2"
Mr. Dudley, I have an 1884 Parker grade 1, 10 gauge that I am looking for a trigger guard to fit it. It has the English straight stock, so it requires the longer type guard. Do you by any chance have one of those and if so what would it cost? If not do you know where I might find one?

OK. Can I ask your advise for a possible alternative? Is it possible to construct one using a pistol grip type guard and welding some steel stock as an extension onto the guard?
