Dave same with the Fox HE's that Steve posted a few weeks back.

I bet you are getting a better gun if you buy at the higher price.

How could the same gun be better?

I think that was meant as a wee bit of humor :rolleyes:

Dave being the analytical person I believe you to be how do the descriptions match up ?

[John Davis]

Dave, WOW! What an eye you have!

[Rich Anderson]

The owner of Cheaper than Dirt (I can't remember his name off hand) has bought a bunch of guns from Steve and other dealers and individuals several years ago. I sold him two Parkers. I think he has put them up for sale then consigned them to Steve and not removed his listing.

What caught my eye on the first listing was the Remington repair code on the barrel flat --

82073

and the fact that it has an Ilion-era stock --

82075

82074

Items which neither description mentions.

I looked at that and noticed to no spur plate....I knew that was not correct, did not add it up but it looks like the stock was replaced by Remington maybe?, good sharp eye researcher. I am looking for a nice 30" 16 that is about 6lb-4oz to maybe 6lbs-12oz max, don't want to carry a 12ga weight gun! SXS Ohio
