He offers "full gunsmithing services", so it can be torched for you if you want it done after you buy the gun. I asked him awhile back about a gun he had on auction. I was looking to cut it back to 24" and add some sights to shoot slugs. His response "I have no guns for you to butcher like that" He hasn't answered any other inquiries I've had since.

There use to be a set of four Parkers skeet guns, with 24" barrels, that was original. Those were sold as I understand it about 15-20 years ago for a right steep price even then. But they were factory and well documented as such. Anything that Ed has is suspect, even more if the records note 28" instead of 24". And I am not saying that Ed cut them as even he knows that a Parker is best left unscrewed up with, even if you are a master gunsmith.

Take a look at the pics of my Remington made Parker VH 28ga. (click on them to view full size images) Mine has slight differences, such as the Parker overload stamp on the barrel flats and the top lever is engraved a bit different from ed's. Take a look at the muzzle on mine, for sure not milled down and for sure not cut tubes. Mine has 26" tubes, sure hope the book agrees Last edited by CMWill; 02/15/07 09:08 PM.
