About 5 or 6 years ago. I could have sworn it was you... certainly somebody with the initials MK.... maybe Marty Koehler?

Mark, that is a unique and impressive 16! I notice that all the guns in the picture are straight hand stocked...that must have been the result of serendipitous or lengthy searches (my guess is both), but in any event, an impressive arsenal. Enjoy your hunting. I'm sure there's great satisfaction taking a bird with any of those beauties.

Salivating over Mark's pictures . . . .


Of course, I've "completed" my collection a few times and it has not lasted yet

Bought a 16ga DHE 28 incher from Scott Gentry a few weeks back and got out today on Howland island state game lands with my two labs Nellie and Lucy.

So the Tennessee gun went North. I was curious about that one. Good buy Craig!

Harold got me to thinking, so I went back to my records to count. 22 Sixteens to date (7 Parkers, the most of any maker). All have been shot, and have taken game. Long live the 16!

Gary, shame we didn't get to know each other when you lived in Ohio. I grew up in Belmont county

Some of my best hunting memories are of chasing grouse in the hills of SE Ohio. Oh, to have those coverts again. I know you feel the same.
