Back in the day the 16 in New England was the 'bird gun' for grouse and woodcock. And a pheasant here and there..
I grew up hunting with my grand fathers/Dad's 16 Parker VH, O frame, 28 inch barrels. I had DelGrego do a total restoration on it about 8 yrs ago, maybe longer. A family heirloom and prize posession.

A 30" Trojan 16, uncommon to say the least I would think. And it's been on a diet at 6-6. That's a sweet find right there Mr. Editor ! Now if it has condition, whew :corn:

I have only one 16 gauge hammerless Parker. A really nice DHE with Titanic Steel barrels, beautiful dogs and turnips on the floor plate.


All my others are Parker hammer guns.

And then there are the hammer guns...

But this is just one of them, I don't want to bore anyone with all the others.

Beautiful guns Dean. You made me look, I have 5 Hammerless Parker 16's in the rack with this Rem Era GHE being the nicest. A few years back I picked up a 32" VHE 16 that I enjoy chasing Phez with. At 6-11 as I recall it's not to bad to carry on the prairie. It's an alluring gauge for sure

Wow Randy - that one would sure be the nicest in my collection! What a beauty!!

I have a couple both 0 frame a VH and a GH Damascus. They kill pheasants for me like my name was Roberts or Koneski meaning they don't miss. Worst thing about them is that you gotta pay attention to the color of your shells, and only take the purple ones.

Probaly 80% on the bbls and has some CC too. Nice condition and great dimensions. Wasn't really "looking" per se. Came across it and have an idea that will now be fulfilled. :)

I love you guys. I sometimes worry my addiction is severe and find it difficult to control the urge. But I'm a minor league ---- after reading this topic!!

Addiction?? We’re just keeping dangerous old guns out of circulation so nobody gets hurt. Because it’s all fun and games until someone loses a digit, then it’s just fun!

Kind of like Dragnet, “The guns have been purchased to protect the innocent.”
