What amount is too much to pay for a svelte sixteen bore Parker Bros hammer gun? They carry beautifully - shoot beautifully - instill a 'pride of ownership'- take up less space in the safe, thereby allowing more room for more Parker sixteens... Those things alone must be worth a certain premium...

I'm not sure how they take up less space but I can roll with that I was fortunate two years ago and got a grade 3 with 30 inch barrels at the Southern. I also have a lifter and a 32 incher along with an English gun with a Jones underlever......yup I love 16 bore hammer guns

Default Unfinished 16 hammergun

Here is a picture of the sleeved 16 gauge hammer gun. The fore end needs cleaned and finished. The trigger guard needs a little work for final fitting. The skeletal butt plate screws are fit but the slots need final work. The stock will have more coats of finish.
