That was one of the reasons I stopped shooting there. How could I ever leave one of my Parkers in the rack to go to the men’s room if there’s a thief lurking about?!?.
I had one too; mine seems to have disappeared as well! I have a feeling it's around here somewhere but in several years of casual searching it hasn't turned up.

A shame about yours being stolen at your club; you just don't expect such things to happen when everyone there is supposedly somewhat like-minded. However, we did get an email reminder at my club to keep our cars locked; apparently some items were taken.

Craig, your opening post should have been saved for a Parker Pages article. It perfectly represents what has happened to that favored gauge and wasn’t too wordy at all, as one commenter indicated.
I love each and every 16 gauge Parker I have ever had. Sadly, and for no sane reason, I sold some that I never should have… *kicks self in ass* for a couple of them served me very well and brought the game to the ground when I did my part.

Thanks for that great lead-in to a topic that most all of us can relate to.

Dean, my understanding is that he didn't write that, it was copied off of Facebook. I said it was wordy as most things there are, but the spirit of his post is excellent. And I agree, an article on the 16 would be awesome.

As far as 16g Society, I've been a member a long while, but I also think that as more information comes out on other forums and the internet their relevance was maybe destined to fade? I wish it didn't. And that is a one of the coolest logos I've seen.

Good luck Mike, it would be nice to see some new contributors/authors in PP.

Bill, the restocking of my Parker 16 ga VH was done by DelGrego. Larry told me to come back in a year and the gun would be ready. And a year later it was.

I went to Bass Pro in Foxboro today and bought out all of their 16 ga ammo. I wasn't sure if they'd let me do that but much to my pleasant surprise they did without comment.

Allen, how much per box was the 16 gauge ammo you purchased? We will check at our local Bass Pro, which isn't too local.
