Personally, I like 16's over 20's... But, to each their own.

Still don't have a Parker 16, just have not seen one in the condition/price/config that gets me to pull the trigger on one.

Locating an acceptable Parker 16 is equivalent to winning the lottery. One of my favorite pastimes is seeking the ideal measurable’s, condition and price of quality Parker shotguns. I currently have zero acceptable 16 gauge examples on my short list.
The finest examples of Parker shotguns that routinely surface are offered by Mr. Josh Loewensteiner on Guns International. I’m also confident that wonderful examples are available at PGCA events.
I have been very fortunate to have won the “Parker 16 Gauge Lottery” twice, so far.

Bruce, those are some beauties. You did indeed win the lottery.

I also agree with your assessment of Josh's offerings, and I have several in my safes. It's so nice to have someone who makes good descriptions, prices fairly, and is honest in his dealings.
