Hey Mark. I also picked up a 16 gauge myself this past fall. It's a DHE with 32"
barrels and a PG stock on a 1 frame. It weighs in at 7-4 oz with those barrels.
The DAH was 2 3/4" and it lettered as such. I tried to shoot it but was just not satisfied wiht that drop so I had the stock bent to a more shootable dimension for me. As a matter of fact I hope to have it back next week. This one has 2 1/2" chambers so I was shooting RST's in it. It will be on a pheasant hunt in the future for sure. Not the best pics, one of my near future goeals is to get some higher quality pics of guns.

I’m partial to 16 as a 16 Fox was my first Gun back in 1959. I like your 32” Parker bet it swings nice would be hell on pass shooting Whitewings in TX. Mark and I are going after turkeys with our 2 new/old Parker hammers this spring in TX.

The constriction is .028 in each barrel so it would work on the pass shooting, at least for me anyway. It does swing well. Good luck with the turkeys !

Depending on the chamber length... I doubt the chambers are that long and being such an early gun it was most likely chambered to shoot brass shells and consequently, likely has no forcing cones - just a 90 degree ridge at the end of the chamber.

I would strongly recommend measuring all aspects of the chambers.

Randy take that 32 inch 16 to the sporting clays range you'll love it. I have two both on the #1 frame. A hammer gun and a GHE vent rib and they are fun to shoot clays with.

Oh you don't have to encourage me in that department. I have been to the skeet range and 5 stand with it and just as soon as that little stock bend is complete we'll be back at it. A GHE VR 32", wowsa! Put me at the top of the list if you should ever become disenchanted with her !

Now you have me concerned!!! Think I will measure the chambers and get Gad Cartridge to load a few brass black powder for the turkey hunt!
