I think you will like the CYL/MOD chokes on that gun. I have 2 Parkers that letter with that combination, the DHE 16 and a VH 20. I think its a great upland combo. A great grouse combo.

Ted,

Is that the restock that was done on the gun?

Looks to be very well done. Did he have the original stock and include that with the sale?

It should be a great grouse and woodcock gun for this fall. And next fall. And many other falls!

Great looking gun. You did good.

Bill - the stock in the photos above is the new stock and the original stock came with the gun, including the original SSBP. The grip cap was used on the new stock.

As for the new stock, the fit and finish are perfect to my eye. I am very happy with the stock and the gun overall. It's my first ejector gun too. I am looking forward to many years of reliable service from it.

Thanks for this info! I would love to find out how this gun got from GA up here to NY and there may be a clue in these links. I read through when I get a chance.

More to the story of this gun, the guy I bought it from got it from a local gun dealer. He got a tip that there was a yard sale in one of the small hill towns nearby (Corinth, NY) and some guns were out for sale. He went up there and found this gun.

Must be Mr. Lincoln brought it with him when he came north and somehow it made it's way to Corinth, NY. Fascinating to think about.

Maybe related to Honest Abe? Those chokes would be perfect around Tate Georgia.
That gun needs to come home. There a few grouse around here. Google Tate Manson. It's on the property at the quarry. I have stayed there years ago before moving here. Also Georgia Marble in nearby Nelson Georgia. Co owner is a friend of mine. The fellow that does the sculpturing is also his work is amazing.
