A Question
 

Has any of us seen a 16 gauge Parker on a 1 1/2 frame? I was looking up some stuff in the "Parker Story" last evening and the thought came up.

Never Dave, and I've seen some heavy 16's that weigh as much as a 12. Never say never though. I've never seen or heard of a 16 as other than an 0 or 1. Kaas likes the big ones and maybe he has run into one.

Just tagging onto Dave's thread, was the 16 ever made on the 1/2 frame or was that strictly a twelve gauge frame size?

Eric, what is the frame size on your NIB Skeet 16?

Strictly 12, Dean. Maybe.

Looking at some of the post back in June, Bill Murphy bought a 3 frame 16. That would make me believe, there is a 1 1/2 out there somewhere.

You would have to think there may have been made a two barrel set ,a 12 Bore and possibly a 16 Bore on a 1-1/2 Frame ?

I have two 16 skeet guns a VHE and a GHE both are on #1 frames.

Dave you were thinking???:rotf:

Ya Rich..I was thinking...I was thinking of how good ALL these chocolate chip cookies Kathy gave Danny for his birthday taste....:bigbye:



PS...Be safe in Wyoming and good hunting..:)

There was a rough #2 frame 16 gauge floating around a year or so ago.

Dean, sorry I missed this post. My NIB 16 ga skeet gun is on a one frame.

I have a 16 on a half frame but it wasn't made that way. However, there is no reason why Remington couldn't have made a 16 on a half frame. What a shotgun. If I can do it, they certainly could have done it.

My one frame 30 inch 16 ga weighs 7 pounds 0 ounces. It has considerable swamp to a straight taper just forward of chambers. A straight taper 16 / one could go 7 1/2 or maybe 7 3/4 pounds. However, we know there are many heavy twenties on the 1 1/2 frame.
I didn't count but there seem to be about twice as many 20 / 32 inch guns as 16 / 32 inch guns. It may have been easy to get the desired weight on a 16/32 on a one frame, but necessary to go to the 1 1/2 to make weight on a 20/32

Best, Austin
