I wonder if Casey's barrels were machined to add the check hook feature. Either at the factory or possibly later. Very interesting..

Austin Hogan is one who knows a bit about the transition from round lug to check hook. Maybe he could comment about whether a factory conversion from one to another is a possibility. A picture of the lug on the gun in question would help a lot. A picture from the side and from the bottom would be sufficient.

Check Hook Lifter Action
The check hook lifters are made on a longer frame, almost interchangeable with the top action frame.

Thanks Austin. It looks like we're back to needing pictures to decide what we have here. Apparently, a conversion to "check hook" is not likely since they were two different frames.

Okay...How about this scenerio...Those heavy weight barrels damaged the check hook pocket in the barrels and it was repaired. Maybe I think to much...ya we need pictures.

Well I've gotten some more pictures taken. Had no idea I would get things "stirred up". It's great though, I love talking about my gun. As far as I know the gun has never been returned to Parker. If you'll notice the hook in the middle has a piece broken off of it, I never noticed it before.

It makes perfect sense that when those monstrous barrels are stopped short by the pin in the frame with no resistance to their momentum other than the hook... something's gotta give! It sure looks like a factory repair and the method of repair possibly taken from the 1910 replacable locking plate on the barrel lug.

It is not a fatal flaw. There is at least one gunsmith who knows how to saw the barrel stop (check hook) from the barrel assemby and reattach a newly milled check hook to the barrel assembly. However, it looks like yours is working fine now. PM me if you need to know how to address the problem if it actually becomes a problem.
