DHE 12 ga with a BHE barrel

The serial number looks doctored up on the one set. I would say it is a composed set. Not factory.

Thanks for the reply , I’m about to go get some clay pigeons at Walmart so I can take it out tomorrow. It should make quite the bird gun !

Yes, the way I understand it, Parker Reproduction BHEs were built as 2-bbl. sets. When they were initially sold some of these BHE sets the original buyers only wanted one set of barrels. The extra sets of BHE barrels were then added by Parker Reproductions to DHE frames. Nice, attractive figured wood on your gun! Does your M/F choked set of barrels have a number stamped into the forend lug?

I have a shooting friend that also had one these 12ga. DHE 2-bbl. sets with BHE barrels. His set was 26" IC/M and 28" M/F, SG, SPL, DT w/14 3/4" LOP, nice wood, too.

No only the BHE barrel is stamped with a 1, the DHE is bare. I just wanted a shooter , and this set was 4k which was a little on my high end of affordability but I liked the fact it came with 2 sets of barrels with all the choke options I could want. I wanted a 20 or 28 gauge with double triggers and still do but I might get an AyA #3 or #4 to scratch that itch once I save up again.
