Hey Dean----if the gun is nothing that you want & there are problem with the gun, do not try to advise a friend as to what to do, you will end up being the bad guy. Right or wrong !!!

Nope, thanks Allan - Far be it from me to suggest anybody buy this gun or what to do with it if they do buy it. Whoever buys it is on their own.

I'm just sorry to have to witness yet another beautiful Parker, with wonderful attributes, that has been improperly repaired. Neither the owner of the gun, the owner of the gun shop nor I know any of the history of the gun. The owner of the gun (about my age) owns and operates a car and truck repair shop and about twenty years ago took it in as partial payment for some work he did on a guy's car who couldn't come up with enough money to cover the bill.

The difference in my case is I don’t NEED it.

I have a 1 frame 12 with 26" factory barrels. It weighs 6-10 and handles like a 20. Big difference is it was priced like a 12 not like a 20. It is a delightful grouse gun.

I know a guy that has been looking for a nice shooter, reasonably priced 20. He has not had any luck finding one within his budget. I suggested he look for a 1 frame 12 but he turned his nose up at the idea of a 12 ga. That is, until I finally convinced him to try mine. He is now a convert.

Me too Gary. I have a #1-frame 26" damascus GHE 12 that weighs 6#10oz. I love that thing for grouse in hvy cover using light loads. And, I guess if I can shoot well with my 3.5DAH 1-1/2 frame VH12 2-bbl 26"/30" set, I could manage with this one that Dean passed on just fine! What a beautiful gun. The dolls head fit seems better than most. Sure hasn't been used much and certainly not abused. If Dean was only 40yrs old he'd be bragging up having bought this beauty!

My remaining GH 12 gauge on a ! frame, also in the 67,000 range, has 28" barrels choked .005 and .027. It weighs in at 7 lbs and a delight to shoot all day long with modest velocity 7/8 oz loads. I just love the 1 frame 12's.

I know, not my style. Seems I have developed a soft spot for condition. I do happen to have a GHE that has that extra 6" of barrel on it coincidentally.
