I was able to acquire two donor guns at a very reasonable price. My plan is to proceed forward with a 34 in 28 gauge and the same in a 20-gauge. My mind tells me that the odds of me ever coming across the opportunity to acquire one of these in an original Parker is minuscule at best, thus my decision. if I ever did come across one the price would be much more than I am going to have in these guns which is understandable. Having said that I would still rather have an original but.,.
I have thought of doing the same before . I keep thinking how nice a long heavy 16 ga #3 frame would be with . Parker made a few but finding one and be able to buy it is a different story . For some reason I have always wanted a 16 ga on a 10 ga frame . I asked Briley years ago about a 16 ga tube set for the 10 ga but they said no .

I have seen alot of 16 gauges on 20 ga frames , 12 ga on 16 gauge frames etc . I am the opposite though I like guns built on a size up with some weight behind it .

These projects you got planned are right up my alley , cant wait to see them.
If you dont mind me asking who is doing the barrels for you Merrington ?

Aaron does do great work. He sleeved this old 16g lefever to 20g for me (I did the final polish and bluing). And he is currently working on turning a sidelock Sauer SBT into a 7x57r rifle for me.

Yes. It was actually finished and marked by Louis Hartmann in Philly. But it is an imported gun built by Sauer (I presume). It was in pretty rough shape so it make a good start for such a build.
I also have a Parker SBT rifle conversion in the works too. In 30-40 krag.

Aaron has done more than one 34" gun for a fellow PGCA member.
