Yup....It is the gun I had talked about at Hausmanns, needing to have internet so I could bid more money if my opening bid was surpassed. After getting more info about the barrels I am happy no one else was bidding. If I keep it I will need a comb riser. The price was the motivator on this one, its hard to find a DHE-16 that is in good shape with skeleton plate for 3K....(-: Kenny

Congrat's Kenny !!

I was watching this one pretty close. I almost bid at the last minute,but because of the possible cut barrels & seeing you were the high bidder. I didn't pull the trigger on this one.

Still a good price for a DHE-16

Some of my favorite shooting Parkers have cut barrels, especially the 24 3/4" DHE 16 I bought on this forum.

Thanks Bill...I am a grouse hunter so open chokes are a good thing! I hope all is well with the DHE-16 It was a vary good price for a D ejector 16 gauge. I hope I like it and there is no other issues with it. I do have a full return option, just have to pay to ship it back....(-: SXS ohio

The DHE arrived...barrels are cut back to 26 1/8" and looks good, tubes touch. Small amount of pitting in the right tube just short of the muzzle. Chokes measure cyl/.002 Other than that it is super condition, never a screw turned, only normal use. Lever is right, ejectors work perfectly. I do notice the lifters do not lift unfired shells up out of the chambers... only 1/8 or 3/16 ? they should lift them up so as to remove them easy like 3/8" or so. The unfired rounds are hard to remove. 2 5/8 chambers, barrel weight 3lb-4oz and the gun weight is 6lbs-4 1/5 oz. Early engraving is very nice, little color case on exterior, barrel blue is original at 90% or better with a couple rust blems but not bad at all. I think I will keep it. I would like to get a extra set of DE 1 frame 16 barrels for it if anyone would have a set to sell. thanks all SXS ohio...

I'd sure keep it, it sounds like a great gun in every aspect. Sure it would be nice if the barrels were not cut but really....who cares? I think you made a great find and a great deal.
