Richard,According to the vent rib section in the "Parker Story" there were 47 vent rib G grade guns.I don,t know if this takes into consideration guns that were retrofitted.

Richard: If the DHE that you're looking at has a factory vent rib I would venture to say that 6K would be a heck of a deal!

Just My Humble Opinion.......George

The PGCA extrapolated (I love that word) figures do not include ejector or vent rib guns separate from other more coveted non ejector and solid rib guns.

Bill,Are you talking about the section in Volume 2 that shows vent rib guns?

Well I put together a deal on the gun today, and brought it home. Actually nicer then I remembered the other day. I will try to post some pictures once I take a few and figure out to post them. I will get a letter on order right away. Did not get a lot of history, but was told that years ago the guy I bought it from received it from his dad. His father had gotten the gun when his father was getting up in years and wanted to clean out a bunch of stuff he had stored in a building. He told his kids to go through the stuff he had stored and take what they wanted before he got rid of everything. The Parker although taken by one son was never shot and stayed in storage for two more generations. Best I can tell the gun has been stored for about 50 to 60 years. Not sure about the first half of its life but clearly was not used a lot and was cared for. 30" barrels choked extra full / extra full from what I can tell. May have a story or two if it could talk. It has been a real Parker week, as I also bought a 20 gauge Trojan that is in excellent condition.
Seems like a lot of nice stuff coming out of the closets here in the West.

No, Dave, I was not talking about the separate vent rib list. I was talking about the extrapolated totals in the "Grades" chapter. Am I correct in assuming from Anderson's post that he does not own The Parker Story? Does he use a dime for a choke gauge? No wonder he likes open bored guns, all the guns he buys have open bores whether he wants them that way or not.

Bill,He probably does own the "Parker Story"but finds it better to have one of us do the work...
