Minnesota is Ruffed Grouse country! Those Parkers will be great for that, especially the 16. Enjoy them. My two Parkers are 10s and they see time in the woods in pursuit of the elusive grouse. Welcome aboard:cheers:

all right, will do, looking at them all weekend now, they really are beautiful. Checking into the history a bit, my inlaw never shot them, so they have been dormant for the last 40+ years. Its past time to hear them bark. Thanks for pushing me to get them out in the field! Question. When apart, on barrel part, if i was looking down both barrels, there is a squared off part that is flat right below both barrels. On its engraved 0 98 , what does that mean? thanks

They are the last three digits of the serial number.

thanks
