Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

There are a fair number of number 1 frame 12's, this was the upland game 12. 6lb10oz is on the light side of normal for 1 frame 12's but not unheard of. Most 1 frame 12's will be a bit heavier, like 6/12 or 6/14. To get to light weight, they had generally plain, straight grain wood, shorter barrels, and extractors. I have seen a 6/8 26" VH 12ga, a very plain gun. Some of the reduction in weight came from the barrel walls, so know your wall thickness.
Sounds to be a great upland carrying gun.
