30 inch VH 16 gauge

Terry Wagner · 03-05-2015, 08:09 AM

Is there any estimate of the number of 16 gauge VH guns that were produced with 30 inch barrels? Looking to buy my first Parker #150730 and trying to get as much info as possible prior to purchase. Unfortunately I do not have the time luxury of getting a letter prior to the decision. First time poster, thanks for any information or direction.

According to the tables at the end of the 0-Grade section in The Parker Story there were 2192 VH guns made in 16 gauge with 30" barrels.

You didn't take into account all those some do gooder took a hacksaw to !

Come to think of it I had a 30" VH 16 with an English stock back about 1990 or so . Bought it and a Trogan 16 28" from the same guy in Warrenton VA .
