DHE-16 just bought on GB

[Bill Murphy]

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

Almost 3" at the heel, your gonna like that Kenny. Good job getting it.

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

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...

Photos are in the gunbroker link in an early post on this thread. Great gun. Hurry up with the PGCA letter. It could include original owner information as well as repair work done before 1919.
