GH 16 0 frame
 

You guys are making me look bad advertising my "0" 16 for sale. Am I going to be tarred and feathered!! Just acquired a 28 VHE that has stolen my heart so someone needs to go. Funny I have other 16 ga Parkers I just seem to shoot a lot more than this Damascus GH 16.

Odd as it may seem Todd, there are some 16 0-frames that outweigh some 16 1-frames and some 16 1-frames that are much lighter than a lot of 16 0-frames.
I had a Trojan 16 on the 1-frame with 26" barrels that was unbelievably light and agile. I wound up selling it to my brother-in-law because he borrowed it for a season and kept it for the next two seasons so I told him I'd sell it to him. Took me three years to get the money.

"Never a borrower nor a lender be.".....especially when family is involved.

I have a case of RST 16s..3/4 oz. on the way..and a pair of 16 ga. inserts for my 10 ga. lifter. I have 2 other 16 VH O frames. One is a 26" straight grip that Brad B. should have the color done on this month..and another VH ..28" pistol grip. That takes care of the kids and grandkids !..The 16 hammer is in a restored 2 gun motor case..with my LC Smith 16 hammer.. Now..if I just had a Woodie ....

One year I bought all the 16's Ivory Beads brought to Vegas. Got bit hard that weekend.

Growing up in New England, the 16 ga was the grouse gun.. I still have my grandfathers 16 vh. I don't shoot it that often but when I do it brings back wonderful memories of grouse hunting with my dad. Great gun.

I’ve had two top lever hammer 16’s one an 0 the other a 1 both were 30” and I liked the 1 frame more . I also had a VH 16 26” 0 frame that was poison on dove/quail but it’s in GA now . Still have VH 1 frame 28” and 30” which are both nice . My only other Parker 16 is a DH 32” 2 frame and I like and shoot that one the best .

Shot my 26" "0" 16 this weekend at quail. Only thing better than an 0 frame 16 is a box of puppies!

I shot my 16 "O" frame this weekend also!...and I missed. Dog wasn't pleased but we had fun. She certainly is a sweet shooter.

My bucket list includes an O frame 16 ejector gun 26" barrels for grouse (yes, short barrels). I don't care if the wood is rotted off, I would have a stock made to my dimensions. I have two O frame 16's, and they are just the bomb. My 28g Repro was the worst Parker I ever owned so I sold that and am going to a 28g O/U instead if I want that gauge. I am pretty wedded to 16g with hand loaded 16's in RST hulls 1 oz #8 and Longshot powder. When the kids are out of college maybe that 28g Parker will show up

Andy, if you wait that long and continue to shoot a 28 O/U, your eyes will have moved, one over the other, by the time your kids are out of college. If God had intended us to shoot an O/U, he’d have made our eyes that way. (BTW, he shoots a straight/splinter, two trigger Parker with 26” barrels…)
