And then there are documented 11 gauge Parkers.
Charlie price had documented 112 factory 11 gauge guns, all but one having four-digit serial numbers... that one is ser. no. 46740
this one, 16513 because it was rebored at a later date, may have missed the records...? JMHO
Maybe the barrel shop at Parker Bros. thought removing that additional .015" would compromise the barrel walls...?
