Harold

I am excited about this one. My crystal ball sees those barrels catching and passing a downwind cock pheasant.

One of our members is retrieving a 38” 16ga.
It supposedly has a lightened water table, which doesn’t make much sense to me.

The thirty-eight incher is a 0-grade not a G grade as advertised.

Harold it sure seems like a very worthy project. The collecting community is lucky we have so many people that are willing to rescue these great old rare and unusual guns. Your reward will be pulling the trigger for the first time. I can't wait to see a picture of you holding the gun with a big grin on your face. Congratulations on a great find.

I have hefted that gun Edgar and it is pretty well balanced. It sure doesn’t feel like the barrels are that long.
I think of any of my 3 grade-1 16’s on the 0-frame with lightening cuts with 26” or 28” barrels and that 38” one handles the same.... all you have to do is close your eyes.

....but then you couldn’t see your bird.

Charlie I was told that E.C. Meacham placed an order for 59 guns at one time. All 16 gauge with 36" barrels. Like a lot of Parkers there are probably a few more out there than we realize.

The gun Harold is getting is one of a group of 14, consecutive. Makes you wonder......
Like everything else, 'To Each His Own'. but that 38" gun is more a curiosity to me than something I'd need to own.

Dean, my grade 2, 30" weighs 6lbs, 11 oz., so, using the old rule of thumb of 2oz per inch of muzzle end barrel material, Pug's gun should weigh 22oz more than mine, less the minuscule amount the lightning cuts amount to.
Since those cuts are behind the hinge pin, and the barrels must clearly be heavier than my gun, how could the gun balance at the pin, unless there was weight in the stock?
You have had the benefit of putting mitts on it, and my mind is just wandering, as it does this time of year, so I'm obviously overthinking it.
Hmmm. Ive seen you shoot, and now I understand your technique, though your score might improve if you try opening your eyes.

This gun does not have "lightening cuts' according to the seller. He is taking the gun to be shipped today--coming out of Cajun country--New Orleans. Love listening to his N'orlins drawl.
BTW, records are available, so Chuck, you may hear from me soon.
