To my dismay-it was already sold. Maybe somebody on the site purchased the gun and will give us some insights about it.

That particular BHE 16 has been listed a few months now. It appeared to be a very nice Parker and the 30" barrels appealed to me. The price tag wasn't very appealing at $39,995! I thought it was overpriced about $9,995.00. But apparently someone thought otherwise.

I have considered a few different shooters from CT Shotgun, but they have not been open to "offers" even as the guns sat there at prices higher than I thought they should be (both Parkers and other brands). I bought one gun from them, a VH 12 and admittedly it was in finer condition than I anticipated by a large margin.

I thought the price was high too but was going to try and talk them down since it had been for sale awhile. Actually-according to the salesman-the gun has been sold for some time. For some reason Connecticut shotgun won't take the guns off their website or Guns International after they have been sold. He told me he was taking this gun off as we spoke yesterday but it is still listed. I bought a pair of 28 gauge nickel plated snapcaps off them recently that was listed on Guns International(I think they still are) and they held my money for two weeks before I called them to find out the status of my purchase and they informed me that they were out of stock. Dealers need to take sold items off these websites as soon as possible.
