That's an interesting old lifter and fairly close in serial number to mine, #4084. My gun is a $105 dollar grade (10ga) baring the same patent date on the floor plate. Mine also has the same Parker Bros" lettering and font on the side plate. I also have the S stamped on the barrel lug. I'd be interested in the significance of that if anyone knows.

I have searched the threads and I believe the "S" stamp is a stamp used by a Inspector named John Stokes.

Did you verify it is a 10 gauge? Assuming the barrels are good you got a great deal.

Rob, that is a nice lifter and I think you got a good deal on it. That sure is a light 10 gauge and should be alot of fun. I have a 12 gauge lifter# 3492 that has very light 30" barrels on it as well. The chamber walls are thinner compared to the other Parkers I have and look like yours. I haven't weighed just the barrels, but my gun weighs 7lbs. 10 oz. Yours is even lighter. I hope you enjoy it, I have shot both black powder and some ultra low pressure RST shells out of mine.

Thanks Jay, I really like these lifters. I wish I could find a well used $100.00 grade lifter next in 10 or 12ga that was affordable. Lol

I don't usually post an image of the stock book entry for someone's gun but I want to make an exception for this gun. Rob's gun is the top entry and can you make out if it's a 2 or a 0? I've shown entries below his gun for comparison purposes. I did make a mistake on the LOP and weight of the gun, the letter should say LOP 14 1/4" and 7 3/4 pounds which would be light for a 10ga. gun. Also look at the pellet count of a 12ga. gun vs. a 10ga. gun. Not much difference. Many times a 12ga. gun will have a lower pellet count vs. a 10ga. gun. I hope everyone now knows why I hate doing letters on real early Parkers.
Rob, either measure the chamber size or see if a 10ga. or 12ga. shell fits properly in the chamber. I'll send you a new letter. |
