How rare?
 

How rare is it to find a 16ga PH with factory 22" barrels? I came across one today with a letter, the gun must have weighed 5 to 6 lbs.

All but unheard of. Is it a PGCA letter?

But if it letters to 22. It was done at the factory

It would be interesting to measure for chokes

Probably the only one made in that particular configuration.





.

That's why I'm asking who wrote the letter.

Well in TPS the shortest 16 gauge gun is 23" for a grade 1 hammerless with twist barrels and 26" for a fluid steel PH .

sounds like you have a very rare configuration of a gun..22 inches a perfect bird gun for sure...charlie

The gun is sitting at the local hardware store, I believe its a PGCA letter, I dont know who else does letters for parker collectors.

it wont sit long in the hardware store if the price aint to high...i think i woulda done pulled the trigger...charlie

Unfortunately we're in Downeast Maine, high quality doubles around here are made in Turkey. They want 2000.00 little high for most incomes.
