DH vs GH

[C.O.B.]

I have a GHE 16 that has BTF (this is a Damascuss barreled gun) with the reinforced lug SST and a SSBP. Obviously at the request of the customer.

But that’s one of the available options that any grade above tha Trojan could be fitted with.

I have never seen a grade two with a SSBP have you? This work including the ejectors was all done after the gun was originally shipped as a std GH. Parker also made it a straight grip.

Yes I have. Granted, they were both Remington era guns and Remington occasionally wandered away from the norm.

That much 'after the sale' work is extremely unusual but if it letters that way, who can argue? I have a GH 16 that went back to Meriden to be fitted with ejectors but that's it.

Again, Parker Bros. would do nearly anything the customer wanted but I wonder if it was cost effective to have all those options installed after the fact...?

I wonder when a G with added features becomes the same (or nearly the same) cost as a D? It’s odd how buyers could opt into or out of features that sometimes seem to not be very cost effective. Those research letters create mysteries as often as they solve them. The customer is (almost) always right...unless he wanted a gun too light to be safe (for example).
