Default My First PH :)

I have always wanted a twist barreled PH Parker. I had been keeping an eye for a decent PH for awhile and almost bought this exact one a few years ago. And by “chance” I ran back into it two weeks ago. It is a hefty #2 frame 12 gauge with 30” twist barrels and weighs 8 ½ pounds. Choked full and full, I have had some fun with it already. This should make a nice waterfowler…

I posted the letter. The price seemed low to me, but then if it was going to a store, maybe they received it at wholesale. It is interesting that the serial number dates it to 1892, but it didn’t ship until 1899.

I was shooting RST 1oz and 1 1/16oz shells. I like the tight chokes and it did well on the sporting clays course. I was able to vaporize a few close targets, which always feels good
