28 ga Parker’s with 24” barrels
 

Is there any information available to know how many Parker 28 ga VH shotguns were produced with 24” barrels? There are very few in this configuration that are typically offered for sale and I am curious to know if this suggests they are rare when compared to 26” or longer barrels.

In the table of “short barreled Parkers” at the end of Vol. II of The Parker Story most Parkers with barrel lengths of 24” or shorter are listed. Unfortunately they are not all there.

In the Grades Section of volume one it states 38 VH 28 gauge.

38 guns with 24" barrels and only 15 with 32" barrels. What were these people thinking ! No wonder I can't find one.

You missed your chance at one of the 15 as a 32 inch 28 is listed as sold on Guns International. He who hesitates is lost:rotf: I have a couple of 32 inch 16's and a 20 but prefer 30's. They just seem a little more dynamic to me.

While I’m not arguing your point , my only preference is that they go BANG !

I have never discriminated on barrel length. My meager collection embraces length's from 26 to 32.

Rich if we are speaking of the same gun that was not one of the 15 VH grades. I believe you are speaking of the BH that was Gables gun? If I did miss a 32-inch VH out there on the market please don't tell me.

Any listing on 27” 28 gauge?

Yep, TPS shows 5 VH grades.
