Vent Ribs?

[Bill Murphy]

I have CHE, DHE, GHE, PHE, and used to have a wonderful VHE vent rib gun, and, if I could sell my house before the Guyette auction, I might have a AAHE vent rib gun.

Reggie, the 2 DHE's you should probably give up on. The CHE I cannot comment on

Oh I gave up on them long ago, but I still enjoy thinking about them from time to time.

I’ve had a lot of success with a GHE vent rib, BTF 12 gauge. May be my favorite side x side.

Remington Arms Co. began offering a vent rib on their Remington Autoloading Shotgun in 1910.

I have never seen one of these barrels with the widely spaced posts.

The next year Remington Arms - Union Metallic Cartridge Co. showed the closely spaced posts we see to the end of production.

My favorite Parker to shoot is a 32” straight grip, single-trigger, live bird gun with a high vent rib. Fits like a glove. I’d prefer double-triggers but it came with a Miller-type single.

I have a DHE VR gun with 26" barrels! Only one other gun is so described in the I & S book with "19" features. In fact the one I have is really a "24", so it may be the only 26" VR, Ej, SST, BTFE Parker ever made.

I am thinking if I ever sell it I will ask $200,000 for it since it is One of One!! (sarcasm to those who might remember a "One of" recently posted)

I have a PHE 26", VR, ae, sst, bt forearm, and it's a 2 barrel set, the second set being 30". It's my "working" pigeon gun, not too pretty.

I'm wondering if it ever sold? Not that I really care.

Bill,
Is your gun listed in the I&S book?
