I too have a 1 frame 16 (1927) that has been passed down to me from my grandfather and father. Had to have DelGrego re-stock it as the original stock wood at the head was punky and literally falling apart. Great grouse and woodcock gun. Just can't beat the old 16 IMHO. But that 20 Trojan that I'm saving for one of my grandsons....a delight to hunt with and was terrific on quail last season. I agree with the previous member who said sub gauge Parkers are a slippery slope.
