What a treasure. Maybe you can post a picture of this great gun. We don't normally shoot those "big box store" 3 1/4 dram equivalent loads in our Parkers, but the 3 dram equivalent loads are much easier on the gun and on your shoulder. This being said, Parker trap and pigeon guns seldom shot any loads under 1 1/4 ounces for 100 years, and are still in fairly good shape. I don't think my PHE trap gun ever shot anything less than 1 1/4 ounce loads before I became its lucky owner. I still shoot 1 1/4 ounce loads in it to kill box birds.
