Value? The .410 is the top of the list.

Let me check the Parker Story to see if I can come up with some hard numbers.

I,m outta here tomorrow at zero dark thirty for Maryland.

Just what I thought, in my learning curve on Parker market values- I would take a DHE std. 10 gauge with 32" barrel;s No. 2 frame choked Imp. Mod and Full as my "dream gun" as I am serious waterfowler-and RST has certainly made shooting a std. 10 gauge a reality today. The .410 "mystifies me"- aren't there both a 2.5" and a 3" chambering ( as on the M42?) Were all the Remington era Parker skeet guns (mainly VHE I believe) made with 3" chambers, so the owner could shoot either length shell at his option!
