My Parker was given 2 me by my GrandPa back in 1970
I was leaving 4 basic training in the Air Force.
He wanted to give it 2 me while he was alive.
So now with more time on my hands I would like 2 know more about it and more about the history of these great and wonderful guns.
I am not sure if it is a 16 or 20 gauage...I have never broke it down just always cleaned it and kept it nice,,

Brian: The easiest way to tell the gauge is to take a shell of each gauge & put them in the chamber without closing the action. Whichever one fits tight is the gauge. When your gun was made there were also Parkers in 14 gauge.

Best Regards, George
