Keith, that sounds like a wonderful Parker, curious, what is it choked?

I like my upland gun in the 6-7 lb range.... Lighter than 6, it just feels too light to me.
Maybe when I get old as Gary, I'll like that sub 6lb gun a lot better.

I once had a set of 26" 12-gauge, ejector, 1-frame Bernard barrels. Would love to have seen the entire gun.

Pat, you'll get there. We'll talk when you do.  BTW, I think Dean has noted this also, but all of my lettered cylinder barrels measure out at .003-.004. For the Parker barrel regulators, it was all about how many pellets the barrel would pattern, not how the barrels measured out.

As far as how light they made them... I find myself in my ever handy spring issue of "Parkers Found".
Serial # 50131 16 gauge top action D grade on 0 frame with 28" barrels. 5 pounds even. I would very much like to hold that gun. |
