104 Year Old Parker 16 Gauge SxS
 

I occasional shoot skeet with my Parker.

The problem is I can no longer find 16 gauge, 2&1/2" shells.

I was getting them from Polywad in Georgia, but they are not responding or shipping shells for quite a while.

Any info as to where I can get shells would be appreciated.

Thank you.

the only other one I know of is RST

Agreed - RST is the way to go

RST is the best

unless things have changed, Kent, and Estate also had 2 1/2"

I use 2 3/4” in all mine even the 130 year old hammer 16 .

Thanks all of you guys for replying.

I thought Polywad was the only low pressure shell manufacturer.

Don't know what's happened to Polywad.

Thanks again, Happy guy who can again shot the Parker Brothers Shotgun!!!

The Remington Dove and Quail loads are actually 21/2" shells.The box is marked 23/4" but if you measure the shell the unfired length is 21/4" and the fired length is 21/2".They are fairly low pressure loads and work fine in short chambered 16s.You can buy them at your local gun store or Walmart.Our Walmart sells them for $7.79 per box.

Thanks John for that info! I buy those for my M21 but never would have thought to check length to use in older 16 ga. Hope you are doing well and found a good dove hunt somewhere. We had a good one in AZ, mostly mourning doves but I got one white wing that stayed around a bit too long, it’s buddies left to go south a few days before opening day after a cool front came through.

I was shown that by another PGCA member Scott Gentry.The 20 gauge dove and quail loads are the same measurements.
