These guns are a pleasure to own and shoot, but there are so many variables, It's a little difficult for me to make any assumptions about Parker's thinking. We've been talking about 0 frame guns, but I assume there were also 1 frame 16ga. guns. Also, there were Grade 1 guns in 16ga, so were there the same lightened vs unlightened examples? I know there were grade 0 guns with lightened receivers, since I had one, now in Dean's care, but that one is a lifter.
I wish someone could determine why one gun may have been lightened and another not. Was it Parker's decision, or customer ordered. Are there sufficient records, either from the order book or stock books to give us a hint?
There are two guns out there that I may be able to buy (one or the other, but probably not both) One has 28" barrels, and the other has 30" barrels. Oddly, the 30" barrels have a lighter unstruck weight than my 26" gun, and, no, my 26" is not bobbed.
Questions, Questions.
