The Parker arrived today . And to be honest it exceeded what I was expecting by a good bit !
The bores in this thing are like mirrors , the barrel rang true when I tapped them , all the pertitnent places had matching serial numbers and the gun locks up tight and on face . I think the stock had been refinished or finish added .

Got an email today from the fellow I got the extra barrels and forend from . He received my funds Saturday and barrels will go in the mail Monday . So since he's in NY state and I'm in VA I would think I should have in hand by Friday and hopefully sometime next week everything will be fit up !

Barrels and forend arrived late yesterday and looked pretty good . Started working in fitting them today and almost got it finished . I needed to leave the shop early today to hunt so I brought the gun with me and left the new barrels there . Should get them fit up Monday !

Well my friends never got the barrels finished when I gave them to him originally . Before he got done I had taken the gun with the 10 gauge barrels deer hunting and then goose hunting . Well hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday we can get them finished up before I leave for the Philippines Thursday !

Well the snow Monday kept the shop closed ! So I got in Tuesday and dropped off the EH and the 12 gauge barrels and forend .My buddy however wasn't able to take time to finish fitting them .Today he was closed for blueing and didn't have time . So I won't be able to test fire them until I return from the Philippines the end of March . I'm really interested to shoot patterns both barrels with my low pressure trap/skeet loads and then shoot a round of trap or two . The bore diameter of the right barrel is .734” and the choke measures .695” for 39 points of constriction . The left bore diameter is .732” and the choke measures .690” for 42 points of constriction . That's tight full and extra full ! Thing should be great for trap and jap trap .

I'm kinda interested to try #2 and #3 buck for sure ! I'm not big on #4 buck but with the full and fuller chokes in this gun it might do a decent job .

I love the old cool stuff. What happened to not shooting Damascus barrels? I always heard that growing up, electrolysis and rust? Nothing prettier though.

Dunno I have no less then 11 Damascus or twist steel barrels that I regularly shoot . Granted the loads are not hot or high pressure . But I still shoot them with smokeless . Heck I killed a deer this year with hand loaded buckshot in my Parker circa 1889 EH #2 frame 10 gauge .

I haven't asked if my 12 gauge barrels have been fit to this gun since I left the country . But I'll find out sunday when my gunsmith buddy picks me up at the airport . It also seems that I've found a source for slugs to load for my 10 gauge guns . Might not be able to use a SP-10 wad with a shotcup but it might very well give me a decent starting point to have a mold cut for myself . Also have located a seemingly nice old used and slightly abused Parker 10 gauge with 27 7/8” cut twist barrels . This just might be the one I've been looking for . This thing supposedly has all the choke removed as I think they were originally 32” barrels . I've had my eye open for a Parker in similar shape that was cut many years ago for shooting skeet , buckshot and possibly slugs . This one I've run across is on a #3 frame the generally heavy 10 gauge hammerless frame and with them lacking choke it “should” pattern buckshot rather well and hopefully shoot decent three shot groups out of both or one of the barrels . Then I'd also have a nicely chokes gun for the gun club skeet league .>

Well the 12 gauge barrels were fit to my #3 10 gauge frame while I was away ! Haven't seen them yet but my gunsmith buddy was telling me about them when he picked me up at the airport today !
