First Parker 28 ga.
You many have seen this gun floating around the internet lately or at least on GunBroker as a fake listing. I went and saw it yesterday in person with Edgar from the actual seller. It is a “0” frame 28 gauge VH with 26” barrels choked full/full. This was a nice way for me to get into a Parker 28 Gauge.
Made in 1903 this gun was restored by DelGrego at some point. The butt stock was replaced during the restoration. I will tone down those case colors soon.
The LOP is short at 13 ½”, which may have been a deal breaker on any other gun. However, I really wanted a 28 gauge and a slip on pad with a felt spacer inside brings the LOP out to 14 ¼ which is perfect for me with a pistol grip stock. This works for now, though I want to come up with a better more permanent solution.
I shot it around 100 times today and was enjoying every second. I didn't miss much even with tight chokes…it is a fun gun.
