1/2 frame 12 ga.

It sounds like a Remington rebarrel of a #1 frame gun, which has the same pin spacing as the 1/2 frame. No telling whether the 190,000 gun was a 12 or a 16, could have been either. I sure would like to try those barrels on my 1/2 frame receiver.

OK, as of this afternoon, Jim and I have reached an agreement on the barrels, he has mailed them, they have arrived, and I have snapped them on my little DHE #1/2 frame single trigger Parker. With the #1 frame 28" 16 gauge barrels, this gun weighs 6 pounds, 6 ounces. With the #1/2 frame 28" 12 gauge barrels, the gun weighs 6 pounds, 12 ounces. This gun is a real bird gun, with a #00 frame straight grip stock with skeleton butt. The butt is the smallest I have seen on a Parker, quite a bit smaller than the butt on my .410 Skeet. The 16 gauge Parker Special Steel barrels are bored IC and M. The 12 gauge Remington Alloy Steel barrels are bored .012 and .033, M and IM. What better combination could there be? Now for test fire. Thanks for a great deal, Jim.
