Frank: Thanks for the info. Is this a gun you use for hunting. Looks like its in wonderfull condition and would love to own it myself. I will be sending my stock out to be fixed shortly. the barrels are in very good shape other than being cut. I can't wait to complete it and shoot it. Thomas L. Benson Sr.

Charlie: I don't have a Lefever 20 but I do own a VHE parker 20 with 32 inch barrels and was owned by a salesmen that traveled the west coast shooting trap. It's got some life left in it but barrels are getting a little thin. Thomas L. Benson Sr.

Charlie, Here's an old VHE 20 with 32" bbls and its second set of 28"ers with open chokes.

That is one fine Parker Fred!

Fred: Where in the world did you get that nice combo. Do you have an idea how many of these exist. I woudn't think you could find very many. Tell us about this gun please. Thomas L. Benson Sr.

Charlie: I still remember having my dog circle around a big hard wood tree so that i could get a shot at that big grey squirrel. I love eating those little buggers. Thomas L. Benson Sr.

Thomas, I wish I knew more about it (#190874) but we have no records for it. I believe the long bbls. are original and have 3" chambers, no doubt made for a 7/8oz load with a long wad. The 28" bbls. came later as they are marked Parker Bros Overload Proofed and weigh 1 to 2oz more than the long bbls. The gun balances at the pin with either set. It is also safetyless with a knurled Parker SST. Must have been someone's idea of a small bore competition gun. The long bbls. are choked tight & tight; the short ones, light IC & light Mod with 2&5/8" chambers.
