Any reason why the price is so high?

Clean skeet guns bring big bucks! I knew this one would sell quickly. From watching the market in recent years, Remington era guns and esp. skeet guns have many eager buyers out there. This particular gun is a fine game gun or informal clays gun. You could shoot it for years and never lose a penny! Just my opinion!

And a small bore too! I agree...

This was a good buy. i saw it this am and would have bought it if it hadn't been sold. If you look in Ed Muderlaks book Shooting Flying he sold a VHE 20 skeet gun for $14000 several years ago:eek:

I have seen this Parker Skeet gun and I can tell you it was super buy and the buyer will never lose a penny.

Not a high price, just THE price. Mine looked like that one when I bought it, but I have enjoyed some of the color from the receiver in the last twenty some years. It's still worth a dollar or two more than I paid for it.

A very clean & original 20 bore Parker V Grade with ejectors and a skeet to boot. A very good buy for someone IMHO

Best Regards, George

I like the way you say, "I have enjoyed some of the color from the receiver".

How is the Parker SST?

I have several Parkers with both the Miller SST and the Parker SST. Only one (A Parker SST) gave me some trouble with doubleing. This is on a gun I shoot a lot and was attributed to wear.

I bought a Parker 16 Ga with a Parker single trigger that was a transition gun from Meridian to Illion. I shot skeet a good bit with it, but if you moved the selector from left to right and did not make sure it was all the way right or left it would double. Nothing wrong with the gun just the operator.

Funny thing, I understood a reliable Parker expert was able to photograph and document Ed's skeet gun didn't have a factory original checkered butt.

The radius of the stock and the dimensional location of the medallion are two problems with the gun, not to mention the price. :bigbye:

Mark I guess I don't understand what you are talking about the "radius of the stock" and the checkered butt. The pictures that you show look like a couple in my collection. So can you tell me what am I missing...

I don't think the gun Asa Kelly sold had any problems. IF I had seen it earlier I'd have bought it in a second!

I don't know what "Parker expert" your referring to regarding the VHE skeet gun EDM sold but it does have a checkered butt remember? The only thing with that particular gun is the LOP which is only 13 inches from the factory. A slip on pad cures that.
