Some engraving on that frame!
Looks to be an aftermarket ejector system. The slots would be for trips sticking out from the forend and the pins would be what trips them. Deffinately an addition to an extractor gun since this frame has an extractor style roll joint in it. I believe I have seen other guns with aftermarket ejectors that utilize pins just in from of the roll joint pin. But I do not know of what type they are.

I just browsed through Ron's album and noticed the forend iron is a standard non-ejector iron but appears to be cyanide case colored. The barrels also appear to be newer barrels with Parker Overload Proofs. The serial number puts it at 1896 production so my guess is it went to have ejector fitted by Moran & Wolfersperger at some point in its life and then later went back to Parker for new barrels. Parker probably said we dont fit new barrels to non-factory added ejector systems so they replaced the forend iron as well.

Here is a picture of the water table of 84025. It has a "G" and a "2". http://parkerguns.org/forums/album.p...pictureid=2868 Note also the Fleur de Lis points on the stock are just line engraved in the wood and the "A" or "B" style checking does'nt look to be factory. No mullered borders. http://parkerguns.org/forums/album.p...pictureid=2891 I agree with DoubleOframe that the barrels were supplied as non ejector for the reason he states. I'm sure the receiver is a "1" size due to its dimensions and date of manufacture. Remington just used "1/2" frame size replacement barrels to fit to the gun. Still this is a very unique gun that I wish were mine. Here is the link to Ron's album of this fine gun. http://parkerguns.org/forums/album.php?albumid=276 Last edited by David Noble; 12-16-2013 at 06:07 PM.. Reason: Clarification |

There has to be a story behind that 'G'. Either it began life as a G and was reincarnated as something higher before it left the factory, or it was the personal gun of one of the engravers, or .......

If it is an 1896 gun it certainly can't be a 1/2-frame.
I believe the 1-frame and the 1/2-frame guns share the same firing pin spacing and my guess is that the gun is a 1-frame. |
