Nope, the ID & Ser. book lists it as originally a 20 Gauge so it's not a 12 tubed to 20.


Oops... I see you already responded Rick.

Damn I'm still figuring this site out..
Both barrels are choked the same. I'll send other pictures when I can. I just wanted to show this 20 gauge VHE frame size 1 1/2 with 26" barrels.

Dean,

As you can see the stock has been cut. But the owner had new wood made for the gun......Parker 20 gauge VHE 26 barrels one and one half frame size.jpg

I hope that gun belongs to you now. If not, I want it!
Are you sure that stock has been cut? Using the triangular ruler in your picture, the stock measures right on 14 inches and the new replacement measures 16 3/4! And, I see the original stock sports the correct spur butt plate.
Nice gun and very unusual configuration.

Ed, it really does look like 14" roughly. Are you measuring from the front trigger?

I can't wait to see your new VHE. You can shoot skeet at my club with me as my guest.

You have my number... call me and we can plan on a time and day.

Yes I bought this today. I'm praying that stocks perfectly, so far so good. The existing stock is 13 3/4" from the front trigger. I need 14 1/4-3/8. Gun & Stocks $2400.

Dean you & I have a mutual friend.... Bill P. from Nahant. The three of us should get together for a few rounds of skeet. Danvers or Reading would be fine.
