Default MY FIRST PARKER

Well, my first Parker arrived on Saturday. It's 1901 16 gauge on a 0 frame with 26" barrels choked ic/mod with a POW Grip. I cannot believe how this gun fits me. I know it will become my go to grouse/woodcock gun. Just wanted to show off some pics of it. It only a VH, but I am very pleased with it.

Steve,
You stated in your post that your first Parker was "only a VH". Please understand that the major difference in your gun and an AH is purely cosmetic and given proper care, that beautiful little gun will still be doing its job long after you and I are gone.

Thats one good looker for being over 100....I also have a 1901 16ga. its a GH on a 1 frame 28" demascus barrels. Its weight is 6lbs-12oz I had the barrels freshed up and the rest of the gun is original. Its been used to slay roosters and does a fine job! What does your 0 frame weigh? Thanks SXS ohio....
