We bought a GH 16 about twenty five years ago from a local guy for $100 I believe it was . Gun had a kinda rough life . Anyway the barrels were 27” when we got it . Pretty sure they’d started life at 28” anyway on a Skeet field I have no problem (as long as my heads in the game) staying in the mid 90’s out of 100 . This thing is probably the equivalent of S&S or very lite IC in both barrels . Oh by the way the barrels are damascus and the gun was made in 1911 . It does very well with factory dove and quail loads or my handloads . Also very very well with my #1 buck handloads and my home cast/loaded slug loads . I don’t advocate cutting any Parker barrels but if you get a gun cheap enough with already cut barrels you may as well put it to use .
