How do they know for sure it's a 14 gauge? The line between that and a 16 is very very fine, particularly on brass shell type chambers such as this one would be.

Robin Lewis owns the first 16 bore that Parker Bros. ever made - a much later lifter gun (a B-Grade) so that T-Latch can't be a 16.

There are no records from that era, nobody really knows for sure Dean. To say something like that is an absolute fact is similar to splitting up the words assume into it's various parts.

Anything you say Destry.

Is it a 14a or a 14b, or a 16a or a 16b, or something else......

The lines of gauge in those days were drawn but lightly.

You read the auctioneer's description and I read the auctioneer's description so you and I know the same things about this Parker. I certainly have no idea if it is a 14A or a 14B and I doubt the auctioneer knows either but he sounds like he knows his stuff but maybe you'll call him and ask for yourself. All I know at this point is I'm not gonna get the "Shack Nasties" over it - how 'bout you?

I could give two sh*ts really Dean, it's just fun to mess with you. I've got more guns that I'll ever shoot and gotta find money to pay for this most recent. A 14 gauge isn't something I need or ever will need.

Well, I'll consider myself expertly "messed with" - you . . . you scalywag you :nono:
