That Parker’s getting you there.

Mr. Romig: Different horses for different courses here.
The Lang, a converted pinfire, has no choke (made before chokes were invented), weighs 6 1/4 lbs and is very light and lively, making it excellent to carry for ruffies & the like. The later Parker is about a pound heavier (& with lots of choke) which means it should be more suited for prairie birds. Both strike me as beautiful examples of engineering from another time. |

This gun should be posted in the "General Discussions about Other Fine Doubles", not in the Parker Gun Hammer forum. it's not a Parker Hammer Gun.

Oh dear, it seems that I have violated a strict form of decorum here.
My apologies. |

I can certainly appreciate most other game guns besides my favorite, the Parker.
Your Lang appears to be well worth admiration. I love the classic lines! Quote:

Nice gun. I have a Watson 16, back action, like your Lang. Handles and shoots like a dream with low pressure RSTs.

Saw 3 grouse today where the full chokes on my Parker hammer would have been useful. I may assemble it and start carrying it on some trails here. Everything seems.to be at some distence this year.
