Jim, I have a 33" C Bernard top action hammer gun. Is your gun on a #4 frame?

Bill ... My SN 33940 is a 10ga - Grade 3 - on a #5 frame with 34" Bernard barrels ... The charts in the Parker Story show it to be the only gun of that configuration, but because some of the Parker Bros records are missing, all I can say that it's the ONLY KNOWN GUN of that particular configuration.

:rotf:only THIRTY FOUR inches...around here we'd call that gun "Stubby"! Destry uses a 34" DHE as a quail gun... Seriously, a neat gun, Jim:cool:

There is a stubby 34" DHE 12 ga up for auction at Rock Island this weekend.

My 34" CHE will have to do...there's a 32" magnum Fox HE up too (at a low estimate) if you are into heavyweights, don't need another one of those either...

I am restoring a VH 12 with 34" barrels. It is on a 3 frame. I have two 8 gauges (not Parkers) one Greener sxs with 36" barrels and a William Griffiths hammer with 39" barrel. I can't top the 40" 16 gauge! I would like to get a 4 gauge or punt gun some day.

Jim: Is that the gun you got from CH last year?

Best Regards, George

Guy,

I can't beat that, my Churchill 8 gauge is only 36 inches. I do have a punt gun though, but it's a shorty, barrel is only about 5 feet long. Nice big bore though, just over an inch and a half if memory serves.


Destry

does a 40 inch single barrel 12 gauge count. i have one of these and know where there is a 48 in single barrel. it is a breach loader too... i belive i have heard and read on the forem that there was a54 inch parker brothers out there.. fellas correct me if im wrong on this.good hunting every body charlie

Destry,

Tell me about your Churchill 8 gauge. I did not know that Churchill made many large bores. Is it a sidelock?
