Guess I am a Parker Collector now!

[Mike Mc]

Surprise for me, the second Parker is a 16 gauge. There is no gauge marking on the barrels or rib, which are the Fertag Austrian steel barrels added in the 1960's. So when I tried to insert a 12 gauge the chambers were clearly too small. Then tried a 20 gauge and it dropped in side the chamber and I had to push it out with a ramrod. By elimination, 16 gauge is just right. I will work on some photos. And I need to get a Parker letter for it -- there is the serial number for the receiver, and a different later serial number for the beavertail forearm. I am really please with this gun.

Johan Fanzoi...he is pretty damn reputable ,just look it up

Mike Mc ,you have a great gun with great replacement barrels - horseshit #"s be damned ,shoot the gun and enjoy it .

I can't be more plain than that...and seriously Brian ,why nit pick ? if you know anything about sxs guns -Fanzoi is pretty up there ...if you know anything top tier European guns .

Three or four years hands on the bench experience - on North American guns don't make an expert on everything sxs ,best educate infinitum first and comment later ...bottom line....

Happy new year to you too.

Was there anything in my post (from 6 months ago) other than asking about if his gun did have ejectors or not?

Why the hostility?

Yes, the replacement barrels do have ejectors. The chambers are 2-3/4". The overall finish of the gun looks like it was restored at the time the barrels were changed out, sometime in the 60's. The bluing and wood are very good condition, and the recoil pad is not original. The engraving on the receiver is original, and the replacement barrels have complimentary engraving that matches with the receiver. Definitely a shooter.
