Calvin I don't think that's a dumb question at all. I sometimes use Chamber Mates and shoot 20 gage shells from my 12 gage. From what I read there is some loss of presser/velocity but the wad should expand and do it's job. If there is a problem with doing this I for one would be very interested.

I was thinking he meant the wad actually tipping and causing a bulge??? I think that's what he was warning about with saying all that. I think. But he will let us know. BTW, thanks Calvin. I think you would love the beast.

What a beauty Angel! I would have joined the fray had I been paying attention. Logging too much drill core lately for that I guess.

Thanks Rich, you keep drilling and logging:rotf:
BTW, if you got a 16ga hammer gun we can talk!!

Nice gun Angel! and a really heavy set of barrels, I bet the gun swings nicely, congrats ,a good find! Gary

Thanks Gary. Once I get them moving there is no problem with the follow thru. I would love to have met the man that needed such a Parker. I know of 10-ners that weight less than that.

Just repeating what I've read and thought I'd pass it along as a possible safety concern.
