Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Early Lefevers with original pads were usually installed on the curve, difficult as it is to do. However, it looks like this pad was installed with a hatchet and a belt sander. A wood refinish is probably in your future. What a great gun.

There does appear to still be a curve at the butt end of the stock. I think it may be to short to be original. The LOP is 12 1/2" to the end of the wood, 12 3/4" to the end of the spacer/buttplate and then 13 3/4" to the end of the pad. All measured from the front trigger. I really need at least 13 3/4" so a similar configuration with a new pad will work. The gun shoulders nice and feels good.
It is hard to believe how crudely the current pad was installed on such a nice gun. I'll get it fixed though...
