Default Newby

I'm a newby when it comes to Parkers, and I'm sure this has been discussed ad nausea here on the form. I'm looking at purchasing my first Parker and I found a dandy from a great reliable source.

Here's the specs:

Parker Bros. GH
16 bore on O frame size (typically 20 bore size)
2 3/4" chambers
28" Damascus barrels
choked .008 IC and .014 Mod
6 lbs. even
original 14 1/4" LOP to original dog's head butt plate
1 5/8" drop at comb
2 5/8" drop at heel
neutral cast
circa 1902

I guess I'm a little scared of shooting the Damascus barrels...

I've used RST loads for a few years in my AYA 20 bore for quail.

Do many of you shoot Parkers with Damascus barrels?

Thanks and I look forward to learning from this forum
