Hi John,
Thanks for the welcome. I guess I forgot to mention that it is a 16 ga. I have photos on my shop computer and will try to figure how to upload them tomorrow. Thanks again, Steve B. |

John,
I was able to link to my shop computer and get the photos so here they are. Also the serial number is 135XXX. Why is it most people X out the last three digits? Thanks again, Steve Last edited by Stephen Belanger; 10-01-2009 at 08:52 AM.. |

Hi Steve!
Thanks for the pics!! OK - first why people X out the serial numbers... There appear to be many reasons, but - the one I see most often is that someone will see a picture of your firearm - and report it as "stolen" to scam insurance companies.... Which - at first - makes you wonder.. While not being "snopes for PGCA" - fact is, insurance companies can request ATF assistance to verify the gun serial #’s (stored in FFL’s acquisitions books) and form 4473. So..... A person falsely claiming that a gun is stolen based on a serial # they saw from a picture, would start the wheels in motion including: local police/sheriffs departments, the ATF, primary distributor, 1st dealer it was sold too, 2nd dealer and or private citizen that bought it, blah. blah. Now - I don't know about you - but - I wouldn't want to be on the "wrong end" of that "chain reaction" by filing a false claim about a stolen firearm...  OK - as to "value".. Good pics BTW, thanks for sharing! When I get home (unless someone beats me to it  ) - I'll see if your gun is in the Parker Serialization book, OK? If so - you can check barrel lengths and your configuration against how it was noted to have left the factory.. If that's a "go" - there are a few things I see immediately in your pictures including: plate/stock damage (as you know); the hinge pin has been replaced; the screws are not in great shape/mis-indexed (not sure about the other screws not shown in the pics?)..? All of these things take away from the "value"??Steve, my thanks again!! John |

Replacement butt plates are availble from companies such as Galazan/Conn Shotgun Mfg. Co. Keep the old one, but will look better with an unbroken pad. There are people who can repair the stock well, or lots of people who could patch a minor problem like on your gun.
Vulcan barrels are modern fluid steel. Your gun is a VH, the V is the standard mark. The 32 is that your barrels before being finished were 3 lbs 2 oz, which should make for a light dynamic gun. Have a competent gunsmith check it out and enjoy. 16s are enjoying a bit of a come back and Parker 16s are wonderful guns. |
