5 Attachment(s)
I was walking thru a local small gun show today and game across this 16 ga
Dom 1904 28" bbl 0 frame vh choked very tight in both bbl's I only have a skeet's tool for 12 ga so i'm unable to get specific choke measurements but it's choked tight Mostly patina over complete gun which is fine butt plate is missing no big deal bores cleaned up very nicely . it took about 5.5 hours to give it a proper cleaning which it was in need of i'm very happy with the gun overall a 0 frame 16 gain saskatchewan is a rare as holding a winning lotto ticket . i even had time to go to a local farm yard and shoot a few pigeons . As with most of my parker's it shoots where i look the comb is a bit high i will take it down this is not a collator grade gun Now i will try post a few pics |
Ya got to love those 0-Frame sixteens.
Congratulations on the finding this one! Being as you're in Saskatchewan, I'm thinking it might be used for Sharptail's & Huns. I've toted a Parker 16 on a couple of great hunts for birds in Saskatchewan myself a few years back. I'm thinking your gun might be choked pretty tight being as you can't get your twelve-gauge skeets tool down the bore, I've ran into this on a couple of guns myself. Have a great time & enjoy your new toy! |
Yes it will be used for sharp tailes and huns for sure the 0 frame 16's handle nicely i do have a no 1 frame 16 which i use often as well .

Nice!! I have fond memories of hunting Sharptails in Saskatchewan when I was young and had hair on the top of my head!

I have a 16 ga O frame with 30 inch bbls. I’ve carried it on several hunts. It can really reach out.
|
o have taken it out for barn yard pigeons and it shoots where i look so that pleases me
|
0 frame 16's are my favorite Parker configuration
|
Few things finer than an "0" frame 16. Be careful, you may forsake your other shotguns.....
