Chuck, I have only one question. Why on earth would you use that beautiful piece of wood on such a beautiful gun and not invest an extra $2.00 for the genuine plastic white line spacers under the butt plate and grip cap?
Beautiful gun. Good luck with the ribs.
Cary You are kidding, aren't you? Parker never used white line spacers.

Very nice Chuck. Who did the case coloring and did you have the engraving re-cut after polishing?

Chuck,you've done a wonderful job on the Parker just like I knew you would. You picked a great piece of wood to use.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
The basic gun is a 1905 GH, 12ga, #1 frame, 28" bbls. 6 1/2 lbs. that I paid way too much for from Wildwood some yrs ago. There was a fly in the purchase in that it had a broken stock when I got it out of 4473 jail, which neither Wildwood nor the recieving FFL claimed any knowledge. I waited enough years that the hurt went away.
The work was done by a friend that wishes to stay anonomous. He did all the work including stocking it, making some new screws, prepping the metal and coloring the barrels. The frame, forend iron were recased by Turnbull, the guard was charcoal blued by Turnbull.
That piece of wood is from another friend ,locally, that I shot skeet with. He had two blanks from the old downtown Pachmyr store from over 30 yrs ago. Stock dimensions are 1 1/2" x 2 3/8" no cast, 14 1/2" LOP. The other blank is being used for a AE Fox 12ga. My supply of whiteline spacers dried up and I didn't want to impose on any of you guy's supply, knowing how much some of you covet them, so I went ahead without one. Besides, like Mr Ken said, I probably couldn't afford a vintage whiteline. Buttplate is a Galazan repro.
The engraving was in very good shape and not worn and didn't need to be picked up except for the new screws.
Those phez have been standing still for over a year now.

Hey, on a related matter. I have wanted to do a restock job on a Fox Sterlingworth. How difficult is it get a machine inletted stock from Wenigs and fit it myself?
