A Parker PHE
5 Attachment(s)
I never thought I would want or would own a Parker PHE. There are all those other letters closer to A. But, what came along a few weeks ago with 30" barrels that shoots really well is a PHE choked tight & tighter.

Well, I had to give up a Parker to buy this Krieghoff K-80 Parcours. 32" barrels with thin wall choke tubes. I hope they don't kick me out of the association:rolleyes:

Let’s see in the first quarter so far I’ve acquired a DH 12 32” no safety , a PH 8 34” and I think an SC 32” will come into my possession in NC . Still want a 20 hammerless with 30 or 32 inch barrels . Few pics of the PH 8 in the last with the 7 frame 8 . Don’t have any pics on my phone of the DH and I suppose it would be poor form to display pics of the SC before it’s in my possession :whistle:

Craig, if I had to choose between them, it would be the K-20 with 28ga. barrels. I'm a sucker for nice scroll.
|
And Chuck's a new convert to the 28 bore, eh Chuck?
. |
It's Daryls fault letting me shoot his VHE 30" 28ga. Had to get me some.

Yep....been all downhill from there hasn't it buddy?:rolleyes: |
Chuck was gracious enough to let me shoot his 28 gauge GH last weekend at our Rhode Island shoot and it is all I have been thinking about since. I am going to see if I can find a nice VH in 28 gauge and then...figure out how to pay for it. I am looking forward to hopefully seeing a few at the Southern.
|
Craig, yes I have 20ga. and 28ga. barrels. I have no desire to shoot .410. Daryl, you've cost me a lot of money:cuss: Sorry for hijacking this thread.
|
Sold a Pre64 220 Swift, a custom 25-06 and a grade 3 12 hammer gun. Haven't bought anything but I haven't been able to look either BUT there is nothing tickling my fancy at the moment.
|
I'll wait and see what falls into my lap again. A set of hammer gun bbls with fore-end for a 1 frame that I can have tubed for 20g would be nice.

I had a rather Intresting K-80 in my hands today that belongs to a long time friend . It’s I think a Gold Plantation 32” but the intresting thing is a little added extra my friend had done . He sent a trigger guard to Angelo Bea and had him put a gold inlay of a Turkey on it along with some gold inlaid lines . The turkey is a fair facsimile of the NWTF turkey and yes that’s my friends preferred quarry spring and fall .

Oh, gosh, a Krieghoff thread! My K-32 is 54 years old and still going strong. I have a couple of sets of 32", Vandalia and flat rib, a 30" flat rib, a rare 29" pigeon set, a .410 set, and my 28" K-80 barrels, Kolar tubed for skeet. There is not a screw in choke barrel in the bunch. I paid $775.00 for the gun about 35 years ago and picked up extra barrels when I could find them. Now the gun has a custom made PFS crossover stock without recoil reducer made by a Florida craftsman. Sure, I would like to have a three barrel K-20, but I don't spend enough time with competition shooting to make that an option. It has been my (non side by side) competition gun of choice for more than 30 years. Best $775.00 I've ever spent on a shotgun. I have never shot pigeons with anything but a side by side, but I may change that this year.

Guys,
I will have a Parker VH 28ga on the 00 frame with 28 inch barrels and a VH 410 on 000 frame and 26 inch barrels at the Southern side by side. If anyone has interest in either gun let me know by pm. Thanks. |

Bill, I'll give you $750 for just the PFS stock! I'd love to try it sometime.
|
Chuck, my PFS is a crossover and $750 wouldn't quite cover my love for it. You're welcome to shoot it any time we meet. How about at the Central Penn shoot.

Here is my K80. 30", titanium chokes and barrel hanger
|
Bill maybe at wobble at BR or the Southern or Hausmanns. I know you won't part with it. I was just kidding you.. John, nice, is it configured as a sporter?
|
Yep. It's my first choice for sporting. 2nd is my 32" DHE

Factory. If I remember, it was a $350 upcharge about 10-12 years ago. Someone told me that subsequently price went to $3500, then was no longer available.

I have one of those K guns myself. 32" sporting configuration. Nice gun that I did shoot years ago but I have lost interest in stacked barreled guns so it rarely gets out, been a few years actually. Can't bring myself to part with it, it's to darn nice. Maybe we'll bond again some day.

I have a strong suspicion that you guys paid a bit more for your Krieghoffs than the $750.00 I paid for mine. My gun was a little plain so I bought a gold inlaid K-80 trigger guard that was a little bent. It cost me $5.00. I pounded it straight and screwed it on. It didn't need to be reblued so I saved the $2.99 a bottle of cold blue would have cost me. It was a trap gun when I bought it and I wasn't shooting trap. I traded the 30" trap barrels for a set of K-80 Kolar tubed skeet barrels. I gave the fellow $100.00 because I thought the skeet barrels and tubes were worth more than the trap barrels and he was a friend. As I said, still going strong at 54 years old.

Wish list
I just purchased my first Parker a month ago. 16 gauge 28 inch barrels choked improved and modified. I have the bug. I would like a 20 gauge with 26 inch barrels choked the same.
|
My wish for 2021 is a set of .410 barrels for my 28 gauge Repro. Can anyone help me with this?

I agree , I think a 16 and a 28 are ideal for anything. I have been using a Cheap Spanish made 28 to quail and doodle hunt. It gets the job done. That being said Parker’s are the tops in my opinion. I will be on the lookout.
|
To hopefully get the Trojan grade stock reconfigured to vh grade on my first Parker, a vh. Also to figure out what to do with my second Parker, a DH grade which I dumbly bought it wearing the barrels of an older mother.:banghead:
