Questions of possible Skeet Parker

[Heff]

I just checked the chokes on mine, 12 gauge was .020 /.019 the 16 gauge was .010 /.008
That is RH /LH and much tighter than I thought they would be.

Bill do you think this rib was installed at the parker factory, "Maybe late" ???
As you can see their are no date codes on the barrel???
I did no work on the top of the dolls head…
Brownells chamber gauge in the barrel indicates 2 7/8" chamber
I shoot only 2 3/4" shells in the gun.

SERIAL NUMBER 32 inch vent rib barrels

My opinion is that Remington clearly did not make enough Skeet guns…Appears that they made 1,089 over the span of 13 years, this averaged 84 guns a year. The VHE Skeet Guns that I have looked at are all very well made and extremely well balanced. "THEY DID TAKE THE HIGH ROAD" in workmanship and materials and had good advertising... The proof is in the pudding. NOT ENOUGH SKEET GUNS TO GO AROUND TODAY

I don't think I should have sold the GHE 20 skeet

I suspect they built more than they could sell given the economic conditions during the years of Skeet Gun production. My GHE Skeet sat in inventory for almost two years before being sold according to my research letter.

Rarity is not a bad thing when it comes to Parker's is it?

Very well said, My bet is that Remington lost money on every Skeet gun sold. Especially when you look at the quality that went into the manufacture. They did stay the course right up to the end. My hat is off to them.
Some of us are indeed fortunate, or just lucky.

My skeet guns are usually my go to bird guns.

They were not all straight grip, single trigger guns. This one has seen some use but is still one of my favorite guns to shoot.
