A Parker Trap VH
 

This VH seems to conform to the premise that trap shooters will go to great lengths to ensure their guns are up to the task.

I was going through one of Austin’s photo albums yesterday and came across these pictures. This gun was the subject of a Parker Pages article Austin published about 15 years ago - does anybody remember it?

I’ll have to find the article to discover if this gun came from Meriden this way.

Ouch, think I'd find a good surgeon and have that growth removed. Might be better to remodel your face to conform to the gun, than change the gun to conform to your face!

As I recall, the Dorsa gun had a similar stock configuration.

That is the Dorsa gun. It may still be in the PGCA collection.

Yes, it is the gun donated to the PGCA by Paul Dorsa.
It is a Remington era gun and there is nothing that would support the stock being a factory modification.

I didn't remember it having the vent rib and beaver tail forearm, but then I wasn't really in to that kind of stuff the last time I saw the gun. The Dorsa gun was sold by the PGCA several years ago.

Thats for a trap/schuetzen shooter :rotf:

That is a really bland piece of wood in that stock for a late Remington era VHE. When did they drop the notch in the vent rib ramp?

FWIW the next gun, 241233, is the Bill Mullins 3 1/2 inch 10-gauge VHE, shown in The Parker Story.

As I recall, the stock was considered to be original. Don't know what that was based on. Do we know how the gun was choked?

Did the PGCA pull the trigger guard and look for the serial number stamped in the wood?
