Some time back I acquired a 12ga Repro - dhe, pg, sst, btfe, 26”. Not a legit skeet gun but skeet configured (save chokes & midbead) nonetheless.

Let’s just say it was an unexpected eye-opener - I absolutely love the way the gun handles. Been studying the skeet guns ever since. A legit G grade skeet gun in nice honest condition would sure beat getting poked in the eyeball w/a stick!

Dang so reading the other day one of main reasons that put market kibosh and proverbially nail in the coffin for the 16 gauge was rules for skeet shooting that eliminated that gauge as a category. So how rare would 16 gauge Parker skeet gun be? Noticed in Bruce's promo piece they advertised all the popular gauges 12 and below including 16.

I think the number of 16’s was just under 200 for all grades, and I know for sure where one of the VHE’s are at

Nice!!. That would have to be an incredible upland gun. Btw I saw on Kevin's page a VHE Skeet gun 410. He had it listed at bargain price of $44,995.

A 1-frame, really?

That's very unusual for a 12 ga. that late.

I rechecked my records and it looks like my memory is not what it used to be. It is a 1 1/2 frame with a single trigger.
