I think Edgar is thinking of me on this. I have a grade 2 20 gauge lifter with Parker made laminated steel barrels. They are 29" and letter as that length...a 1 of 1 Parker. Made in 1878 or 1879. I believe it was the PGCA 2013.People's Choice Award winner, but that was before my ownership.

My 16 gauge D-grade with Parker-made Laminated Steel barrels letters as just that, a 1 0f 1 with 27" barrels made on the lightened 0-frame. It is a delight to carry and shoot!!

I don't know where it is, but Stan took a great picture of my Grade 2 20ga lifter with Laminated steel barrels and his grade 3 20ga lifter together at the Southern a few years ago. Here is a quick pick of mine, after I first got it and loaded up for a day of clays...

Default 2 20 Gauge Lifters

Jay,
I’m sure those 29” barrels are awkward, I could take the gun off your hands as a favor

That's the picture Stan...thanks! We need to shoot that 20 gauge hammer gun category at the Southern with these lifters at some point! I forgot yours had laminated steel barrels as well. These are wonderful guns and represent the best American made hammer guns in my opinion. If those 29" barrels start feeling awkward I will let you know!
