I cut my pheasant hunting teeth on a 1914 Parker Trojan No. 167347 in 1960 - 1963 using off-the-shelf heavy duck and pheasant loads. I was 12 or 13 when I started shooting it and it clobbered me pretty hard and I didn’t like shooting it but it was “big medicine” on those big birds... and more effective than my single shot Stevens 20.
