wrong barrels
I have a BH Parker with VH barrels. I remember someone stating that they knew of a BH Parker that had been sent back to get VH barrels put on. Their gun had VH barrels and that is how they found out about the other guns. Can anyone send me to that write up or to the person that wrote it. I would love to find out about my BH. The serial number they posted was only the first three numbers and that match mine so I am hoping they can give me the rest of the number to see if it is mine. Thank you, Frank

Frank, what is your serial number?
|
There was a very early BH-Grade 20-gauge that surfaced here at the Spokane Gun Club a couple of years back that had been fitted with ejectors, SST and Vulcan barrels by Remington in 1937. I think it was 84040.
|
As I recall, there were Vulcan barrelled BH grade guns in the 88,000 range. One was sold in Maryland several years ago. I believe these guns predated VH grade guns.
|
My serial number is # 82152. I just remember someone said that they had see a report on a BH in the 82,000 range being sent back and have VH barrels put on and the old barrels removed. Thanks, Frank

Dan, I see you found this old thread.

Guns that were returned to the Parker Gun Works to be rebarreled were often replaced with VH or VHE barrels by the owner’s request because of the lower cost, regardless of what barrels the gun was made with. Keep in mind that the price of a new set of barrels was half the cost of the grade of the gun, soooo the VH or VHE barrels was the lowest priced option.
