some people have all the luck getting to see all them 8 ga s im jelous... bill reckon how much that petite 8 ga weighs...

Bill Murphy 05-18-2013 08:54 PM

It's a ten plus pounder, the lightest Parker eight I've ever seen or weighed. The barrels are only marked 6-9, a pound and a half lighter than some Parker eights I own or have inspected. Such a quail gun.

thats the lightest 8 ga i ve ever heard of bill...should have asked what is the frame size of this petite 8 ga...charlie

Bill Murphy 05-19-2013 09:07 AM

It's a standard #6 frame gun. The barrels are struck a bit more than normal eight gauge Parker barrels.

Gentlemen,

I wasn't prepared for studio photography at the Eastern Panhandle SxS Shoot but when Jonathan Engle's Great-Great Grandfather's B Grade 8 Gauge appeared I took a couple snapshots. I hope you like them.
