16 gauge 32" VH 1 frame

[C.O.B.]

I have a nice GHE Damascus 16 on a #1 frame with 26 inch barrels and a DH 16 Damascus with 26 inch barrels on the 0 frame. If they are side by side I'll take the 0 frame every time.

My grade one 32 inch 16 hammer gun is a pure joy to shoot. I think you will enjoy your 32 incher.

Well Parker 191133 16 gauge 32" VH #1 Frame has found a new home. This poor old girl has had a rough life but I can see a diamond in the rough and was happy to rescue her from her current keeper. The price.....cheap enough that the decision was easy $1100 CAD which converts to $835 USD these days. Unfortunately no records exist for this gun per the web data on file.

The 32" Vulcan barrels are if fine shape and will clean up to new. They are 3lb 8oz, 2 1/2" chambers measuring R 0.665/0.035 L 0.666/0.032.

She has been abused with:
An awful beavertail forearm
Loss of the forearm tip
Butt stock being undersized where it meets the receive by a wood butcher and recoil pad added
Trigger plate screws buggered
Receiver buffed with a wire wheel to a high luster
Extractor retaining screw replaced with a home made Allen head screw
Barrel hook retaining screw..... indescribable

I have already sent a request for forgiveness from Chris Dawe prior to putting it in the mail to him.

A few issues but still a great deal. Might even be sublime - I'd wait to see if it letters as such.

Things are starting to move along on this one. The wood is to the point of turning it over for welding and engraving. Gonna add a bead to the breach balls and get the engraving under way.

Wow that's going to be one heck of a Parker!!!

Amazing how tastes change.Prior to sporting clays becoming popular,a 26" gun would bring a 25% premium over longer barrels.

That premium has been going down every year since Jack O'Connor died!!
