VH barrels / factory letter
This post is similar to Mark Callanan's about a GH with 26" barrels, but letters to 28". I recieved my letter yesterday on my go to gun, a VH 16 1 frame with 28" barrels. To my surprise, the letter came back 30" barrels choked M/F. I was quite surprised, because these barrels do not seem to be cut. There is a distinct end to the matted rib, with distinct line/ending before the muzzles. I even looked at it under a magnifying glass. The gun was M/F when I bought it, but a friend had a 16 ga IC reamer, so now both barrels are IC, and that works well for me. It really is not that big a deal to me, cause this gun is just a shooter, but I would get rid of my DHE 16 and VH 20 before I would part with this gun--my first Parker. Just got a new camera with a good macro lens, so I may try to take a picture of the end. All of the hang tags also came with this gun when I bought it in the late '80's.
