[Grayson Williams]

Who is the 16 bore expert on the Parker forum. Thanks

[Bill Murphy]

We have several dozen 16 gauge experts who read the forum. What information are you seeking?

[Grayson Williams]

Going to look at a GH 16 D BBLS with good original pattern 30 inch on a O frame.63xx Any ideas on price or offer.Thanks

[edgarspencer]

Given your detailed description, I'd be confident somewhere between $600, and $12,500

[Grayson Williams]

Think 12.5k is over my budget.

[Dean Romig]

Wotinell is a 63XX ???

[tom leshinsky]

come on Dean you can figure that one out. ser. #

[edgarspencer]

Well, it's a partial serial number, or one of 100 lifters

[Dean Romig]

Thanks Edgar…
There was never a GH with a four-digit serial number.

It's nice to get a good laugh first thing in the morning especially the "$600 to $12,500" comment that's gonna live with me : )

[Don Strelioff]

being a 0 frame gun adds extra value 30 bbl's could add value
the 600$ part is accurate the 12 k part even if it was as new a G h would not vetch that price i would top it out at 8 k

[Reggie Bishop]

I will buy an as new GH 16 w/30" barrels for 8k. Maybe even two.

[Andrew Sacco]

Unless that GH was owned by Robert Redford or Carey Grant or Ernest Hemingway or maybe Mike Koneski

[edgarspencer]

Don, that was meant as a joke. You gotta stop breathing all that smoke.

[Randy G Roberts]

I'm with you Reggie, call me if you find two please.

[Don Strelioff]

Understood Don, but we have transitioned from "as new" to "very nice". Big difference.

Chambers measured 2 1/2.GW

Will the 16 is keeping me up past my bedtime. The action screws have never been turned positions correct but does it have the original stock pulled out my best turns crews removed the trigger guard and found virgin wood with the correct serial number.Might be the first O frame 16 made.When I was in my 20s to 30s was able to handle some of the finest high grade Parkers that Leo Bradshaw,Waco Texas sold to Hershall Chadwick,A/B and Cs,small frame O and OO.Regards,GW

[Keith Doty]

I've added Edgar to my very short list (Mike Koneski) of folks I count on to be both a fountain of information as well as entertainment. Edgar, thank you for my first good laugh this Saturday. Did indeed brighten my day!

[Grayson Williams]

Will try to take some pictures of the gun today, anyone willing to post for me,pm phone #.Thanks,Grayson

Is it earlier than my 18719 ?

The letter records the barrels are Damascus Steel but they ware actually Parker-made Laminated Steel with a length of 27”

[allen newell]

I have my grandfathers 16 vh that he had ordered from parker. Although I grew up shooting this 16 on all manner of upland birds mostly native birds plus flight birds such as woodcock etc. He ordered it with a significant drop to fit him. Although I shot it well I had to significantly adjust to the stock and it was finally just too much for me so about a dz yrs ago or so I had Larry DelGrego restock it to my dimensions. Picked it up a yr later. Fits me like a glove. Brings back many fond family memories shooting it on native birds with my dad. Although I shoot mostly 20 ga Parkers it is a joy to pick this 16 up and bring it to my shoulder. Just got back from bass pro in Foxboro and bought out all their 16 ga field loads. Looking forward to shooting some clays with it tomorrow morning at the club. ( plymouth rod and gun club). 16s still rule in my book. No offense to anyone.

[Dean Romig]

Allen, I sincerely hope you kept the original stock. It belongs with the gun. It has your grandfather’s grimy handprints on it.

[allen newell]

I didn't Dean. The old stock was a mess and split with a pin through it. It held no memories sufficient enough for me to have larry DelGrego keep it for me. I shoot it enough to bring back hunting native birds with it in the Neponsett meadows.

Not unless the frame was in stock for a long time until assembled.

[Grayson Williams]

Ordered a letter. Will share info when I receive the letter.GW as
