I think I’ll stick with my Parkers. They’ve proven to be pretty reliable.

It is choked so tight the Galazan 16 Gauge Choke Gauge wont go in the left barrel ,not sure how that will work out !!!

Russ, you might want to mic the bores of that 16 with a Skeets or comparable gauge. I have a 16 field grade from 1930 with the following specs:• R bore .646, choke .627 (19 points) L bore, .646, choke .621 (25 points) (Note: Between 1927 and 1933 the nominal bore for 16 ga at LCS changed from .650 to .662. See note below) That might explain why the Galazan gauge won't go in.

David Williamson offered the following on the LCS site:

"Of the five 16 ga. I have. All have a bore size of .650 but one, that is a 1939 FW Field with a bore of .662 and with the raised rib and 2 9/16" chambers. A 1927 Specialty Gr. 16 has bores of .651 both barrels. Circa 1910 O Gr. 16 has bores of .643 both barrels. Circa 1919 FW has bores of .650 both barrels. Other gun is an F Gr. 16 with right barrel .651 and left barrel .650."

Enjoy.

I’ve been fortunate to pick up a couple guns so far this year. I bought a Parker GHE 20 ga. at the MAAC show back in April. While not a closet queen I have really come to appreciate the gun and enjoy shooting it. All original except it now sports a Miller SST. Straight stock, SFE w/26” IC/M barrels. What a great set up for MI woodcock and grouse!! I shot about 150 rounds through it at the Bacheldor Memorial Double Nasty shoot two weeks ago. Had a blast!

The second gun I bought is an A.H. Fox Savage era HE/Super with a vent rib. It seems to be the only VR Super Fox ever made. 32” M/F w/original 2 3/4” chambers(as ordered). Wood has been replaced but I am over the top happy to have this gun.

I just won two T Latches and a back action at auction.
