*FINE PARKER CHE VENTILATED RIB 2-BBL TRAP SET. SN 232260. Cal. 12 ga. 2-3/4″ Chambers. 1-1/2 Frame. 28″ Special steel bbls and 30″ Acme steel bbls with original ventilated rib and two Lyman ivory beads have all correct stamps on water tables. 28″ bbls SN is stuck over another number. Action has typical “C” engraving with single dog on each side and large duck on floorplate, and has been fitted with Miller single trigger with rocking selector at front. Safety is non-automatic. With the exception of the single trigger this gun matches all specifications in Parker Gun Identification & Serialization ledger. It has, however, been fitted with new nicely streaked and figured European walnut full capped pistol grip buttstock measuring 14-7/8″ over dark brown leather covered pad. Stock features a Monte Carlo comb and silver oval on toe line engraved with “C” grade checkering and side panels, faithfully reproducing that found on original stocks. Original stock for this gun is included, and is also lightly marbled and figured European walnut and measures approximately 14-1/4″ over white line pad. Matching beavertail forend is also a replacement probably done at the same time as new buttstock. 30″ BBLS: Bore diameter: left -.730, right -.731. Bore restrictions: left -.029, right -.019. Wall thickness: left -.030, right -.029. Drop at heel: 2-1/4″, drop at comb: 1-3/8″. Weight: 8 lbs. 1 oz. LOP 14-7/8″. 28″ BBLS: Bore diameter: left -.730, right -.733. Bore restrictions: left -.012, right -.004. Wall thickness: left -.025, right -.030. CONDITION: Fine. Bbls retain nearly all of a satin re-black, over some scattered light pitting that did not polish out. Action retains some case hardening color in protected areas, but is mostly a pleasing pewter gray. Stocks are excellent retaining nearly all of their rubbed oil finish, with a few very minor marks. Orig buttstock retains most of its orig finish worn through on high areas, with numerous marks and scratches, checkering slightly worn. Right panel has numerous scratches front to back. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Bbls are on face. Ejectors are in time. Trigger works. It’s a Miller, they always work! It is estimated that 410 “CH” hammerless guns were made with Acme steel bbls, very few with orig vent ribs. 4-42468 MGM205 (7,500-9,500)
