I don't think the sxs events are in my future this summer so I won't be tempted by the vendors. For years the Southern produced at least two guns sometimes three. I've stayed away from the internet sights for a while now. After my 6th rifle this year was completed just prior to heading to Wyoming the end of September the light came on and flashed enough is enough already.

My tastes are pretty basic, so, being a super seasoned citizen with limited years left in the tank, the last Parker I'd hope for would be a 16-gauge Trojan, original chambers, minimum 28-inch barrels (were Trojan 16's ever made with 30-inch barrels?), original chokes (M/F) - a gun as close to unaltered as possible.

Not many but I believe they were made with 30" barrels.

Take a look at the guns international site, put in parker trojan 16, there are two on right now. Barnett has a nice one for $24xx

Maybe Santa is bringing me one, I don’t want to jinx it.

But I know I hope to have more opportunity to hang around other Parker people in person. Because whether we shared a drink a meal or a round of clays I truly enjoyed all of that and the conversation.

Thanks Alfred - I have been watching the Trojan 16's, especially the one you mentioned.

Greg, I also want a #0000 frame Repro, but I have an advantage. I think I know who owns the BHE #0000 double trigger .410 that I ordered. If I'm real nice, maybe he will sell it to me. He doesn't know me and I have only met him once. It's worth a shot. I need a few more days to figure out what variation of Parker Brothers gun I want next year. I think I have everything I need, but a 28 gauge skeet would be nice. The eight pound #00 frame .410 skeet would be even nicer. I don't know where it is, but someone here probably owns it.

I do not really need anything but am always a sucker for a 20 gauge hammer gun, lifter or top lever, I believe they only made 15 lifters and about 35-40 top levers in all grades, so no wonder they are so hard to find in shootable condition, Gary

Would like a 12ga 32" vent-rib, dt, tight choked, straight grip Parker, also a 28ga 30" vh. Let's hope the gun shows happen soon.

Gary your the king of Parker small bore hammer guns. I have three 16's but when it came to getting a 20 I had to go with a Boss thumb break gun.:rolleyes:
