Here is an interesting find for you Sweet Sixteen fans.
A friend of mine Roger Giles, in the Parker Gun Collectors Assn just posted pictures of his fathers Sweet Sixteen. His father was a master machinist. His Sixteen had a cracked forend, his solution is the most creative that I have seen. He machined a new one out of aluminum. It seems his original buttplate must have been cracked too, cause he made on of those also.
Check them out at this link to the PGCA site:

Yea, but nothing "special" according to the owner. All Ive ever seen him shoot is a Parker he refers to as "Old Clunker"

Jeff,
at least he redid the stock and got rid of the cardboard and duct tape comb riser.  Can't tease him about that anymore. |
