Well let’s see what’s on my phone ! The pics won’t be the best but here goes . The first I’m holding an 1899 EH 10 gauge 3 frame 32” , then a DH 16 gauge 2 frame 32” , then a pair a DH 10 gauge 3 frame 32” with an 20 gauge VH 0 frame 32” a VHE 12 gauge 1 1/2 frame 32” vent rib Monte Carlo trap gun and finally a circa 1884 Grade 2 10 gauge 3 frame 32” that’s been restocked and changed to a straight grip .

Well I don't have pictures but there is a BHE 20 an AAHE 12 and a grade 1 16 hammergun. Many more 30 inchers vs 32.

Had to get it out of the safe and take a picture as I didn't have a full length shot. My only 32-inch Parker Bros. is my "Big Twenty" --

WOW a 20ga 32" Fox is a rare gun, only a handful made and known. Nice!

Here's a DH 3 frame 12 gauge with 32" barrels.
X
And then a 32" DHE 12 gauge
X
And a 32" GH 12 gauge top action hammer; gun on the bottom
X
A 32" CHE Vent Rib Trap with multi barrels
X
And the 32" 0 frame grade 2 16 gauge hammer gun that I got last year is now in the possession of Dave Fjelline. I think they made only 52 of the 32" 16 gauge hammer guns and who knows how many of those were 0 frames; not but a hand full I would guess.
Others from other makers, but these are my only Parker 32 inchers, I think.

Yes. Eight pounds four point five ounces. Yes.

The gun weighs a bit over nine pounds with its original heavy 12-gauge Damascus barrels.

What does the 3 frame 12/32 weight? Is it chambered for 2 7/8" or ?? All cool guns but I like 3 frame 12's.

I know where that 16 or 20 would like to call home. Just sayin' for a friend.

That friend you speak of will probably take that 16 home with him from Sanford as long as he’s willing to bring it to Rock Mountain for me to shoot .

Craig, the 3 frame weighs 8 pounds 10 ounces and it has 2-5/8" chambers.
BTW, it's choked IC/IM.

Craig Larter

Larry: Thanks, 8.10+- seems to be about the average weight of 3 frame 12's. Most seem to be 2 5/8" chambers also.
