Stockdimensions for 1913 VH 26" barrels with 1 1/2" Frame

[EdSartell]

What are the correct stock dimensions for this gun? LOP for me is 14 1/4". As you can see by this picture I have purchased new wood from previous owner.

Thanks,

Correct stock dimensions are the measurements of a stock that fits you. The dimensions of Parker shotguns vary greatly between guns. If you are asking what the original dimensions were, that might be available in the records kept by the PGCA and you will need to order a Research letter to see if that information exists.

Research letter already in the works.

Thank you

Factory stock dimensions for non special order PG stock Parkers are provided in Parker catalogs. They are: length 14" to 14 1/4", pitch 0, cast 0, DAH 2 1/2 to 2 3/4" and DAC 1 1/2" . However, there are plenty of 13 7/8" , 3" DAH Parkers.

Splinter forends are the usual forward wood. The trap forend ( beavertail) is uncommon and a special order item, which attaches to a special one piece barrel lug. Use of a beavertail forend without the proper barrel lug can and often does lead to brazing failure of the lug.

All original Parker wood is serial numbered to the gun.

Was that stock made and inletted for that particular gun? If it has never been fitted to that gun, you have some serious work or money ahead of you. It's a nice looking stock, but maybe not for that gun.

Thank you, for the factory dimensions

We believe this stock is the correct one and was on the gun. Previous owner needed a 15 1/4 LOP. Installing this stock tonight or tomorrow.
