29 1/2 " ???? I sure don't profess to knowing all things Parker but I have never run into that in all the Letters I have on these guns , has any one else ? I have owned Parker Guns with 1/16 more barrel length but never a half inch less .

29 1/2 does not make you feel good.

Not that I have any interest in this gun but it has the squared off breech face with no radius .It was built in an era when 29 1/2" barrels could have been factory.

I'm assuming (with the greatest of confidence) they have a PGCA letter which verifies the barrel length. Otherwise, who would state such a thing.........?

I usually don't comment on these things but will give just a little bit of info. The gun has entries in 3 different stock books, all entries by the same individual. The gun is a $60.00 Dollar Grade gun. The barrels were originally 30" Twist. The last return for repair was to cut off crack at the end of the muzzle so 29 1/2" is correct. Everything else appears to be original Parker work.
Certainly the gun is way overpriced but considering it's for a good cause, the bidders probably don't care. It is a nice looking gun. There was never a research letter written on the gun. Opps, I meant Order Books! |

Interesting Chuck. Price is probably driven by NSSF members wanting bragging rights. It's a nice looking Parker regardless of mismatched hammers. At least it's not a T. Parker. Where is Hamden anyway?
