24" PHE 16
 

Here's the 1926 #1-frame steel-bbld 24" PHE 16 I just got from Trigg. I can't remember how many were made in this configuration but not many. It's been carried a bit but has not been shot much. It locks up very tight and the lever is still to the right. Ejectors are perfectly timed and strong. Bores are mint. Wood very nice and finish good. A good honest Parker that has generations of use yet to come. Perfect dimensions for me and balances very nice. I swore I wasn't going to get into the 16ga game but I've always liked this gun and Trigg still had and gave me back the case of 16ga ammo I gave him years ago.... I will be using some of them up next fall in Minnesota.

Just measured the chokes. Seems choked Cyl/Cyl. Maybe they've been opened. Not enough light yet to get a good look down the bbls. Should be deadly on woodcock and grouse in heavy cover...

What cool gun Rich! Congratulations...

Very nice!

looks like youve got a keeper there..nice gun and i think i would like the short barrels and open chokes for birds..what does she weigh... boiy and a case of shells with the gun you ca not beat that... charlie

Very nice, originally came with 28" barrels. Enjoy it. Jim

That'll definitely be a good early season Minnesota gun!!

Hey Suponski - I like your new avatar photo very much!
I won't embarass you and ask who won the SBT match.....:whistle:

No problem Dean, "Da kid" got his butt handed to him. And I was shooting Chucks gun!

Why would you shoot Chuck's gun? What's that all about?

Rich what a great Grouse/Woodcock gun and it will handel those Haymarsh Pheasants just fine. If you get to MN you might want to make a side trip to the U.P. Grouse camp located in Channing in the heart of bird country.

Bill, Danny was shooting "His" SBT. We only have one. I know I know its time to get another one. Hey Chuck we need to talk......:rolleyes:
