[quote=Jerry Parise;47119]Hi Folks,
..... Why is the drop at heel always so severe in the field guns? ..../quote]


2" to 2 1/2" DAH is severe? I have a bunch that way that date anywhere from 1904 to 1939.

Parkers usually ranged from 2" to 3" DAH, often the higher number for the waterfowlers, less for the uplanders. Many standard V's were built at 2 1/2". I've seen that the ones with lots of drop tend to hang around the gun show tables for a long time and the ones with less sell. If you don't like what you see, find another.

Parker catalogs stated drops from 2 to 3 1/4 " . The very early ones tend to be built like hockey sticks.
