New Parker PH 12 gauge

[Dennis]

Some time ago I purchased a Parker PH in 12 gauge with Twist barrels. I had the gun sent to my brother, Dan, in Colorado as I presently live in California. A couple of weeks ago I flew to Colorado and my brother picked me up at the Denver airport so we could drive to upstate NY for our 50th high school reunion. That is another story though. Dan brought with him the Parker PH so I could see it and play with it in the motel room at night. I was totally impressed with the gun as it had modern dimensions and seemed to be original to me though possibly a coat of something had been added to the wood. I will submit my photos and let those of you who are experts on the forum decide. Upon my return to Colorado before going on to California we took the Parker plus a L. C. Smith 10 gauge Syracuse Model described in another post, up to my house to shoot them. While I only shot the PH at clay targets I hit 22 out of 25 which is about as well as I shoot my Parker GH. I think I mentioned when describing my GH that it literally powders clay targets like no other gun I have owned. The PH does the same thing. Oh, I hit the clays with other guns but just not as decisively. I will never change a choke on a Parker shotgun. Whatever they Parker Brothers did to the choke in their barrels is magnificent. I meant to show photos of the very heavy L. C. Smith 10 gauge next to the Parker PH photos but I forgot. I will show the comparison in this post.
