I like it
Not a bad deal
Buy it quick …..

Love that ball grip. Next best thing to a straight grip.Take that gun hunting. I bet you will be suprised. Try 1 ounce no. six shot. You won't be chasing cripples. Great for doves too. Gerald

Nice gun at a great price. Wish I had seen it first.

That will make a great upland gun. I absolutely love the cyl/full choke configuration. Not a bad price either.
One of my favorite guns is a BHE with 06k/35k chokes. Close bird - frt. trigger. Long bird - back trigger. It's like magic.

Thanks fellas again. The guy at Cabelas told me over the phone it might have been reamed, but he didn't know. Like me, he thought it was an unusual choke combination. Looking forward to getting it and I appreciate the expertise I have gotten off these forums.

,Wow, that gun is in my "backyard". Havent been to Cabelas for a while. I am surprised they are not asking more for it. They are usually overpriced.

that is what you get for spending all that time chasing birds in the UP. :)


looks like a nice gun Forest, as said before a letter may be able to answer the question of the chokes original configuration.

in any case, the set up is very useful

A somewhat similar question. How do you feel about changing chokes to make a gun more shooter friendly. My first Parker, a VH 16 1 frame, was originally m/f, but back in 1986 I had it changed to IC/IC, and it became a much better upland gun( gunsmith only had an IC reamer for 16's).
I have a nice Lefever G grade 16 damascus from 1897 with 28" f/f, and even with spreaders it shoots dam tight--still, I successfully used it on grouse and woodcock. Have thought about opening it up, but probably will not.
I have a VH 20 and DHE 16 O frame, both have 26" barrels and have factory chokes ordered at cyl/mod , confirmed by factory letter.
I also have a very early" The Sterlingworth Co." pin gun with factory cyl/mod borings, a standard offering in their field guns. I woulnt be surprized if that cyl/f was ordered that way.
Great find, sorry i missed it--snooze, you lose!

I am always amazed at the bird killing and clay busting that a cylinder bore can do.

Ed Muderlak did a great article in an earlier Parker Pages, something like "In Praise of Cut Barrels". While I would never cut a barrel on a Parker, I do have some with cut barrels and sometimes buy Parkers with cut barrels to get more open chokes.
