Yes, you're right. It's a 12 GA. Thanks for the quick response.

Post a few pictures John, and check out the other threads on selecting loads... checking gun condition.

Hi Bob,
I'd love to post a few pictures but I can't seem to get them to upload. There must be a trick I'm missing. I'll work on it and hopefully post some soon. Thanks, John |

John you probably need to resize your pictures. 1024 by 768 is the size you need to be for them to download. ch

John how long are those barrels, they look long in the photo maybe just the angle you took the photo. If the gun is in good shape and you have been shooting BP loads, you could use RST or New Era low pressure shells in your gun (alot easier cleanup). Eric

Barrel Length
Hi Eric,
Barrels are 32". I have shot it a few times, although I haven't had an opportunity recently due to a relocation. Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into this. I've really been enjoying this forum. Looking around quite a bit. I have noticed a couple of things about my gun that seems to differ from what I'm seeing here. First is the top lever. Mine is straight, but it seems as though the fishtail lever is more common. Second, the rib on the barrel where Parker Bros. etc., is written, and where it should say "Laminated Steel", there is nothing. It simply says "Parker Bros Makers, Meriden Conn", and it is smooth. There are very fine engravings that seem to match the rest of the gun however. All parts that break down have the same serial number, and everything else appears to be where it should be. should I be concerned? John |

Hi John,
I don't see any reason to be concerned. A lot of hammer guns have a straight lever. The fishtail is probably more unique. I've often wondered how many Parkers are lacking the barrel steel engraving on the rib. My Grade 1 with Dam-1 barrels has no barrel steel engraving on the rib, either. As Parker Bro did many things most of the time, the saying is never say never. It's what makes studying and collecting Parker guns so much fun. Dave |
