In a word David.... No :cool:

So, David and I have an upcoming spring turkey hunt....im going to try and kill a bird with the $150 grade first year Parker Lifter I got this fall before sending it to Bachelder’s for a redo!!then hopefully another longbeard next season...after resto....might even write something up to submit to Dean for PP!

Thanks Mark, that would be great.

Remember, that gun has the sharp 90 degree angle between the water table and the breech face so watch those loads.

was planning on using the RST 2 7/8ths 1 1/4 oz.

It will go into temporary remission from time to time, but only because you have been innocculated with browning fever, or colt fever, or purdey fever (thats a pricey one I am told). But it always comes back.

Hey Mark. I also picked up a 16 gauge myself this past fall. It's a DHE with 32"
barrels and a PG stock on a 1 frame. It weighs in at 7-4 oz with those barrels.
The DAH was 2 3/4" and it lettered as such. I tried to shoot it but was just not satisfied wiht that drop so I had the stock bent to a more shootable dimension for me. As a matter of fact I hope to have it back next week. This one has 2 1/2" chambers so I was shooting RST's in it. It will be on a pheasant hunt in the future for sure. Not the best pics, one of my near future goeals is to get some higher quality pics of guns.

Wow, I love that gun!!!

New 16
 

I’m partial to 16 as a 16 Fox was my first Gun back in 1959. I like your 32” Parker bet it swings nice would be hell on pass shooting Whitewings in TX. Mark and I are going after turkeys with our 2 new/old Parker hammers this spring in TX.

Depending on the chamber length... I doubt the chambers are that long and being such an early gun it was most likely chambered to shoot brass shells and consequently, likely has no forcing cones - just a 90 degree ridge at the end of the chamber.

I would strongly recommend measuring all aspects of the chambers.

Randy take that 32 inch 16 to the sporting clays range you'll love it. I have two both on the #1 frame. A hammer gun and a GHE vent rib and they are fun to shoot clays with.
