another 20 bore question
 

Any opinions of the relative scarcity of PH 20 with 30" Twist barrels 1905 vintage?

PH 20s are a difficult find. Add 30" twist and it becomes a very difficult find in my opinion. Others will know more

According to the tables on page 268 of The Parker Story there were 210 Twist barrel 20-gauges and 204 with Parker Steel barrels. A whopping 13 of the Twist barrel 20-gauges were 30-inch.

I think my PH 20...28" Twist is one of 110..

What about a 12 gauge PHE with 26 inch steel barrels how many did they make? thank you

Sixty 26-inch Parker Steel barrel 12-gauges.

Thank you very much is that with ejectors?

Don't know.

The tables in The Parker Story where the number of guns produced in a particular configuration is listed do not differentiate between extractor and ejector guns.

I'll be shooting my P grade one and a half frame at the Southern next week if anyone want's to see it. Just got it back from Bachelder's as it had been pretty messed up with an attempted restoration and it came out Great! The bad colors are gone, the bad checkering and stock refinishing is gone, long process but happy to have it ready for the Southern :)

I look forward to seeing that PH. Last years small campaign of clay events the tail
gates and parking lots are where the most interesting Parkers were seen. I
appreciate you all who humor my inquisition.

Eric, I'll bring mine. PH 12ga. 28" Parker steel, 1 1/2 frame. We'll compair guns.

My best, a minty 26" PG SFE PHE 20 bought for peanuts since the owner assumed it had to be a twist barrel gun that had been blued over, proved to be one of the last fluid steel P's made, with a SN up in the late 228XXXs. I did the paperwork and got out of the pawn shop fast after the owner said "If it blows up and takes a couple of your fingers off, don't come back here!" Got to LISTEN to these guys who are selling you these things - they KNOW this stuff !!
