I was able to acquire two donor guns at a very reasonable price. My plan is to proceed forward with a 34 in 28 gauge and the same in a 20-gauge. My mind tells me that the odds of me ever coming across the opportunity to acquire one of these in an original Parker is minuscule at best, thus my decision. if I ever did come across one the price would be much more than I am going to have in these guns which is understandable. Having said that I would still rather have an original but.,.
I have thought of doing the same before . I keep thinking how nice a long heavy 16 ga #3 frame would be with . Parker made a few but finding one and be able to buy it is a different story . For some reason I have always wanted a 16 ga on a 10 ga frame . I asked Briley years ago about a 16 ga tube set for the 10 ga but they said no .

I have seen alot of 16 gauges on 20 ga frames , 12 ga on 16 gauge frames etc . I am the opposite though I like guns built on a size up with some weight behind it .

These projects you got planned are right up my alley , cant wait to see them.
If you dont mind me asking who is doing the barrels for you Merrington ?
