As long as the barrels are in good condition you can shoot modern ammo in it.... within reason of course. It would be advisable however to shoot lower pressure ammo though, as the gun was likely not intended for 2 3/4" shells and your shoulder and cheekbone would thank you for shooting low pressure stuff. If you load your own you can find some great loads for it on the Internet such as the 16 Gauge Society at www.16ga.com

Welcome Jeff! The answer is probably yes for RST shells or other lower pressure shells, so long as the barrels are in original and unaltered condition. The only way to be sure is to have a gunsmith familiar with vintage guns examine the gun.

The gun has hardly been shot. Barrels are almost mint factory.
Dean, I see you are a setter man. I used to train setters when I was in vet school at Ohio State back in the late 60's. Now because I'm in SC...Boykins.  Mills, What other brands besides RST are low pressure commercial shells? |

Couple pictures of my new to me Parker Trojan 16 ga. The stock has some nice figure for a Parker entry level gun...

For the sake of information on your gun. The buttstock is a replacement. The forend looks to still be original.

B. Dudley,
Are you basing that on the color (Photo of butt stock was taken in doors)? How can you tell that? Tte butt & fore stock match up perfectly as to figure, color, and finish in the Walnut? |
