Dang so reading the other day one of main reasons that put market kibosh and proverbially nail in the coffin for the 16 gauge was rules for skeet shooting that eliminated that gauge as a category. So how rare would 16 gauge Parker skeet gun be? Noticed in Bruce's promo piece they advertised all the popular gauges 12 and below including 16.

A 1-frame, really?

That's very unusual for a 12 ga. that late.

My dad has a 12 gauge VH that someone cut back the barrels to 26. It is a very nice shooter. Someone might have done it to make a skeet gun. Not sure what choke or any choke is in that gun but it sure is a game getter and clay buster. Its almost not sporting, with almost being operative word.

Mike I take it your gun also has single selective trigger.

Bob your gun is also a stunner and looks like a fun gun to have in the quiver.

I read in the Parker Pages that the Skeet In/Skeet Out stamping on the barrel flats began in "about" 1937. So would a true factory skeet gun be made beginning in 1937 and would a letter supporting a true factory skeet gun mention the skeet choking?

Maybe Steve, but maybe not. Remington didnt go to great lengths to record that sort of thing and it was in 1937 that the Parker operation was moved to Illion. Choke is rarely if ever recorded on the IBM cards used by Remington.

Thanks Dean. The reason I ask is because I have been looking at a "Skeet" Configured gun made in 1935. It has 26" barrels, single trigger, straight stock, and beavertail forend. And has a Parker Letter supporting all of this. But the original factory choking is not mentioned in the letter, and the barrel flats are stamped Skeet In/Skeet Out. The seller is selling it as a factory skeet gun. Oh, and it was re-finished by Larry D.

I think the number of 16’s was just under 200 for all grades, and I know for sure where one of the VHE’s are at

Nice!!. That would have to be an incredible upland gun. Btw I saw on Kevin's page a VHE Skeet gun 410. He had it listed at bargain price of $44,995.
