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.

Harold, I agree that the 26" barrels are best for brush busting grouse and woodcock. I have two GH 16's, both O frame, both 26", one at 6lbs 4oz and the other 5lb 15oz if I recall correctly (I'm at work). I do have a 28" VH 16g that I use in very gnarly crap and I use it to push aside thorns and saplings and it shows it, but it's choked C/IC so it's a true brush gun. That one weighs 6lbs 6oz or so on a #1 frame.

I have a CHE 16 (28" Bernard barrels) that weighs a fraction under 6 lbs. The weight is confirmed by the letter.
