I guess I'm just partial to big butts because my short stocked Parker pigeon gun that I thought had a small butt actually has a 5 1/2 inch long skeleton buttplate. I recently bought a couple of unfinished, represented to be original Parker, buttplates that are 6" by almost 2". I am saving them for an eight gauge or a real big pigeon gun. The inside area of these unfinished plates is way bigger than the inside area of my #2 frame pigeon gun buttplate which is Parker factory work. I've not seen a real big factory Parker skeleton butt actually on a gun. I know everyone wants a little bird gun, Glenn, but some of these custom gun projects are HE Foxes and big pigeon guns which probably look better with a 5 1/2" or bigger plate. My two big plates are probably a lifetime supply for me.
