So whats on your 2021 Parker shopping list?

Harold, Hope you can make something out of that 34” 16. I have a project I hope to make something out of this coming year too, but it is just a 26” 16

"Just" is a word that should never be used in front of 26". Fashion is fashion, and it changes over time. Live long enough and it will all come around again. I have my eye on a nice higher grade lightweight 12 1 frame gun that would take close birds with it's nice 26" barrels.

For many many many years I thought 26” was the perfect length of a side by side . Now I still love 26” guns but I’m pretty much open to anything that’s factory original . Hate to say it but my sporting clays scored took a northward trend when I went to a pair of VH 30” guns a 12 and a 16 . And I’m slowly starting to like 32” 12’s and of course 10’s . Matter of fact I made a deal tonight for a DH 12 32” 2 frame which I’ll send a check for Saturday or Monday , so I suppose that’ll be my first indiscretion of 2021

I added some good Parkers this year and should be content. I may consolidate a bit and focus on 1 or 2 special guns this coming year. Here's my list in no particular order:

1. Grade 3 or 4 lifter in 12 or even 16 if possible(I got one in 10 gauge this year and would like to find one in a smaller gauge, they are just gorgeous to me)
2. Shootable Back Action(I just love these early guns, I have passed on a few projects that I wish I had bought)
3. 16 PH with twist barrels(I missed a chance to get one this year and didn't realize how nice it would have been)
4. 20 VH(straight stock would be preferred)
5. SBT(I am long overdue for a Parker trap gun)

We'll see what happens. Over the holidays I am going to go through my Parkers and a few other guns and see what I might want to move along so I might fund next year's goals.

I should have a few projects coming back repaired/refinished, which I am also excited about.

Three guns:
1. Browning Citori 28 gauge 32 inch barrels Grade III or higher for sporting clays
2. Parker 12 gauge raised rib 32 inch barrels 2 Frame G Grade or higher
3. GH 16 gauge with 28 or 30 inch barrels on a 1 frame
All shooters as they will be shoot on regularly.

At the very top of my list would be a Parker Reproduction BHE .410 on a 0000-Frame -- make sure it is straight gripped, has a splinter forend and is equipped with double triggers please! I don't believe I could ever justify current market pricing for one of these rare little jewels, so it is and will probably remain a pipe dream for this Ol' Po' Boy.

Beyond the above gun, others on my list that I'd like to find would be:
* Just one example of a Parker Reproduction .410 on a 00-frame in any gauge (a single gun that is not a part of a 28/.410 bi-gauge set).
* Just one example of any Parker Reproduction 20 or 28ga. w/28" bbls. that is factory choked IC/M in any grade.
* Just one example of a Parker Reproduction 12ga. w/28" bbls. that is factory choked Q1/Q2 in any grade.
* Just one more example of a Parker Reproduction DHE Sporting Clays Classic model with a straight grip, splinter forend and double triggers (other than the two known to exist).

I don't think the sxs events are in my future this summer so I won't be tempted by the vendors. For years the Southern produced at least two guns sometimes three. I've stayed away from the internet sights for a while now. After my 6th rifle this year was completed just prior to heading to Wyoming the end of September the light came on and flashed enough is enough already.

My tastes are pretty basic, so, being a super seasoned citizen with limited years left in the tank, the last Parker I'd hope for would be a 16-gauge Trojan, original chambers, minimum 28-inch barrels (were Trojan 16's ever made with 30-inch barrels?), original chokes (M/F) - a gun as close to unaltered as possible.

Not many but I believe they were made with 30" barrels.
