Chokes measure cyl/.002 Other than that it is super condition, never a screw turned, only normal use. Lever is right, ejectors work perfectly. I do notice the lifters do not lift unfired shells up out of the chambers... only 1/8 or 3/16 ? they should lift them up so as to remove them easy like 3/8" or so. The unfired rounds are hard to remove. 2 5/8 chambers, barrel weight 3lb-4oz and the gun weight is 6lbs-4 1/5 oz. Early engraving is very nice, little color case on exterior, barrel blue is original at 90% or better with a couple rust blems but not bad at all. I think I will keep it. I would like to get a extra set of DE 1 frame 16 barrels for it if anyone would have a set to sell. thanks all SXS ohio...

Photos?

Photos are in the gunbroker link in an early post on this thread. Great gun. Hurry up with the PGCA letter. It could include original owner information as well as repair work done before 1919.

One of my favorite shooting Parkers is a GH 16 with barrels cut from 30 to 28 1/2. Not a collector piece but an honest gun to shoot

The DHE-16 is a keeper for sure! If the barrels had not been cut back 2" it would have cost or sold for 3 or 4 times what I paid for it! I am working on a comb riser for it like the one I made for my little CSMC Fox, I like a high dimensions, I do not cover up the target...keeping it just above the barrels. It will see the grouse woods this fall...(-: Thanks all SXS ohio

Kenny;
It was nice meeting you at Hausmann's and putting a face with a name. I really liked your comb riser. Great idea.

This wood riser is attached with automotive two sided tape. I inlaid the tape for a flush fit.

I am working on the comb riser for the DHE-16. I have been taking pictures as the work progresses. I have a good 6 hours getting the part made, fitted and ready to test shoot. The part is now ready to test for proper rise amount and point of impact. I will install riser to the gun with masking tape for this test. I plan to post all the pictures when the project is finished.....thanks all,,,SXS ohio

As we talked about at Hausmanns, we need to try and get together and shoot, since we are only a couple hours apart. I shot at Briar Rabbit in Zanesville, Oh yesterday--that is not to far from Matt either. Used my little VHE 20. I can bring my DHE 16. My GH 16 O frame came with 27" barrels, but bought it cheap because of that and it is one of my favorites to shoot.
