Old shotgun parts, wall hangers, etc.

[captainstashu]

I have some old shotguns I want to bring back to usable and collectible condition.

One is a Parker Brothers double exposed hammer 12 Ga. (1886?); a Fox double, 12 GA; and the other is a 1920s(?) Flues double 12Ga.

They are all nice but need some parts and cleaning up. Are there any places reasonably priced and not too far away that has parts and old shotguns??

That would be my first stop. Unless you are looking for a smith. In which case unfortunately no idea.

From your post, don’t know where you are, but one suggestion is you could call albright’s in easton. The have serious shotguns and probably a person who works on them. If not, they can steer you in the right direction.

Thanks for your responses. I did not know about Del Grego's, As usual you guys are a wealth of information.

That Parker is probably not able to shoot modern loads. Not sure if that’s a game changer.

Just get some Parker marked brass shells (available in several gauges and lengths) and load some nice mild loads.

didn't know this was something you could do yourself, thought you had to send it out to a specialist.
