Default Out with the 16

I got out late this morning before this weather system hit in the Northeast. It just started snowing here in Rhode Island about an hour minutes ago.

I am fairly new to Parker 16s and of the 3 I have(I know that sounds like I am not new to these...) this VH is the only one currently in shootable condition. I posted pictures when I first got it, it's a 1907 VH #1 frame with 30 inch barrels choked M/F. Someone had browned the receiver and other metal parts. I may try to clean/remove that at some point.

I had a delightful time going through 7 boxes of shells. Many have spoke about it on the forum, but the 7/8 and 3/4 ounce RST shells are great performers.

Shooting today makes me want to get my other two 16 Parkers back in order as soon as possible.
