Bruce,
Dose the gun described in the record page you've shown have a checkered butt. I have a restocked 12 gage, 108776 which letters with a 15" LOP and "no butt". I've asked before about the meaning of the "no butt" reference but could never really confirm anything. The one checkered butt gun I own is described simply as straight stock, checkered butt. It would be interesting to find a few of these guns that letter "no butt" to see what their treatments originally were. |

Do all checkered butt guns have a wood "pad" to accept the checkering, or is the checkering cut across the grain?

The only ones with a wood "pad" that I know of are the Repros.

Larry, the checkered butt gun shown in the top photo is the one in the records page stated to be " No Butt Plate."

I had read somewhere that even when a gun was ordered from Parker Bros with "no butt" or some such wording because the owner wished to do his own measuring and install his own soft rubber pad, Parker Bros would still send the gun out with a checkered butt. Probably because they might have refused to send a gun out of the shop in an 'unfinished' condition. I don't know this to be fact but as I said, I did read it somewhere.

Here is a checkered butt with two wooden plugs in the balancing holes.
This may also be a Remington era Parker. . |
