The gun is posted in stock book 77, which is missing, so no stock dimensions available. I think the old stock which Dave has, is probably the original stock. PGCA has no information on this gun. It is quite comforting to be able to have some information on some guns that are not in the existing PGCA records.

Evreyone should have a special Parker, either interesting and unusual provenance or how it handles and shoots for us. It's lucky man to have both in the same gun. Congrats Dave.

Thanks Pete. This gun been up to the Majors Shoot more than once. So you guys have seen the gun.
Mike,The stock on the gun now. The one Bill had fitted measures 14 3/4"LOP 1 5/8"DAC 2 1/2" DAH The original stock is basically the same DAC and DAH but a 14 1/2" LOP. Interesting thing about the original stock is that there is a 3/4" wood stock extension to a pad. I wonder if elder Mr.Saxby was a man of smaller stature and this gun was given to William his son who required a longer LOP. The stock shield is engraved "William Saxby"

Thank you Dave. And the ventilated rib is a factory rib? I promise, that is my last question, dumb or not. I have two two-frame VH12s that I was going to start using for my trap guns. The adjustment (learning curve) has been more difficult than I anticipated. Of course I am 57 and may not learn so fast either. I am curious what they were doing "back in the day".
Thanks again, Mike |

Mike, As Bill states.Factory vent rib,single trigger,non automatic safety. One very cool thing though.The gun has a knurled(checkered) trigger.
