Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Phil, I had this VH 16 with 30" barrels choked IC & FULL. Sits on a 1 frame, no ejectors though. All original, dates 1928. I also had a Win 94 flat band I worked on for a friend. It too was a 32 SPL, very clean. First I ever saw.

My grandson has killed several turkeys with it using old Win 2 3/4 ", Magnum (marked on the box)1 1/4 oz # 4 loads. A friend gave me 10 boxes of these!! You need some? The old girl doesn't seem to mind shooting these. Serial # 154,059 all original with DHBP.

Pretty stout load to be subjecting 111 year old wood to. In 1910 when 154059 would have been made the "standard" 16-gauge shell was 2 9/16 inch and carried a maximum load of 2 3/4 drams of bulk smokeless powder or 22 grains of dense smokeless powder such as Infallible or Ballistite pushing 1 ounce of shot. Your Parker Bros. 16-gauge, unless it was special ordered for the longer 2 3/4, 2 7/8 or 3-inch 16-gauge shells, would have left Meriden chambered about 2 7/16 inch intended for the 2 9/16 inch shell.
The big four, Western, Winchester, Remington and Peters all introduced their 2 3/4 inch Magnums in 12-, 16- and 20-gauge, in their December 1954 price lists.
