The Long and the Short of it !

Thought you Gentlemen might be interested in two very neat guns ! They are a pair of PH Grade 16 Gauge Guns ! They each have their own PGCA Letter for documentation ! As much as they are the same they are much different ! PH ,Serial # 81826 is a 16 Gauge # 1 Frame gun with 32" Twist Barrels " None listed in The Parker Story " and PH , Serial # 99091 is an O Frame Gun with Factory 22" Barrels and again , none listed in the Parker Story "and the Grand total weight of this gun is 5 Lb. 8 Oz. ! I am thinking these two guns should be listed in " Parker's Found " in The Parker Pages , ,Serial # 81826 possibly as the only surviving 32" Barreled 16 Gauge PH with Twist Barrels as I found three others listed while scouring TPS , and Serial # 99091 as possibly the only 22" Barreled PH with 22" Twist Barrels !

Thanks Harold , It is going to make a fantastic Grouse Gun , Cyl. Bore and Full ! Before Parkers I shot a Browning 20 Ga. BSS Sporter ,IC and IM ,I thought it was the perfect Grouse Getter but this gun is really smooth and the barrels carry enough forward weight to give the gun a nice balance !

I like them both !

I wanna find an EH or NH with an uncut barrel of 24 , 26 or 28 inches !

So Russ, have you had that 22" gun out in the field? Wondering how it would handle. I don't mind short barrels at all when grouse hunting.

Harold ,I haven't had it out yet ,I was hoping to take her to the dance this past Saturday but The Rut was kicking into gear so I went Archery hunting ! That ole tree stand is starting to wear me out

Right on. A short barrel EH or NH would be a find. My 27" DH 10 is very handy in the field. About 7 1/2 pounds.

Russ, the deer are definately on the move. My best friend just took a hog 13 pt in Ohio.
As you know, I have a 167 acre farm in Ohio, and will probably spend Wed afternoon sitting in a tree also--I am really not much of a bow hunter, but will probably be to hot to hunt the setters that afternoon, and I have been getting trail camera pictures of some real wallhangers.
