The 1942,(first edition I believe), reads the same.

Aha!... "The Little Gun" was finished in the dusty little plant down in Meriden in November 1889."

That makes perfect sense Dave, and Foster, being a true Parker man and editor and publisher of two sporting magazines while writing NEGS, would very likely have known that fact. Thanks very much Dave - Good thinking, I'm going with that!

Perhaps a 12 taken down to a 16 hence "relined"?

So, were the barrels of Parker guns of any gauge, including the 16, generally overbored as well as were the 12 and 10 during the brass shell era of production?

I ask this because in THE PARKER STORY (authors Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price and Cote), page 517, the stock books are cited as noting the general discontinuance of over-boring in 12 and 10 gauge guns in the 1890s, but, nothing is said in that paragraph about other gauges.
