Filling up the gun safe
 

I guess I can now call myself a Parker collector since I have more than one now. I just picked up my second gun a 1929 Trojan 16ga with 28" barrels choked F/F. It has a 14" LOP and weights 6lbs 10oz. Cant wait to get it in the grouse woods. I know I'll probably be chastised but I'm considering sending it to Brad Bachelder and having the chokes opened to M/IC.

Good job! You might try it with spreader loads first, as a bunch of folks do that with success.

Consider yourself chastised.:eek: Try the spreaders first.

Spreaders, I have the same gun and spreader loads deliver all the open anybody needs. Two kinds of shells in your bag you can load for long or short in a flash.

Spreaders , Spreaders and Spreaders. RST and Polywad make them or you can order the inserts from Polywad and load them yourself, very easy too do, I have loaded 12,16 and 20 for many years, just look for a load with pressure on the low side as the inserts will bump up the pressure a little. Also use cheap soft lead for best results on close shots.

Love it! Looks like a near twin to mine (1924, 28", M/F, 6lbs-9oz). As others have said, I have used spreaders and they have worked well for me. Enjoy it!!

Sorry about the huge photo. It's the same size as all the others in my photobucket; don't know why it shows up huge here. I tried this pic on another site and it was fine; then I previewed other pics in this post and they were fine. I even did a full shut down and reboot and typed the post all again; still huge! So sorry...

Good picture Phil. Looks like home page picture material

Now the size is OK? :vconfused:

Bigger is better.
