I suspect they built more than they could sell given the economic conditions during the years of Skeet Gun production. My GHE Skeet sat in inventory for almost two years before being sold according to my research letter.

Rarity is not a bad thing when it comes to Parker's is it?

Very well said, My bet is that Remington lost money on every Skeet gun sold. Especially when you look at the quality that went into the manufacture. They did stay the course right up to the end. My hat is off to them.
Some of us are indeed fortunate, or just lucky.

They were not all straight grip, single trigger guns. This one has seen some use but is still one of my favorite guns to shoot.

So, is the one BHE 28-gauge the Robert Stack gun?







The one CHE-Grade .410-bore the General George Patton gun?

Took the Parker out yesterday with the dogs to get them some exercise and to point some planted Bobwhites. Really like how the gun fits and patterns on birds. The single trigger and ejectors operated flawlessly. I think it's a keeper.
The only thing that was surprising was it has that barrel ring that some Parkers experience when fired. I had this on another Parker once. I personally don't like it, but I'm sure I will get used to it. I will do a little experimenting to see if it's the top lever or something else.

I have never experienced a barrel ring when I shoot any of my Parkers.

Phil, you can do what I did to isolate the ringing. Wrap the top lever in a few turns of masking tape and fire to test for the ring. I found that the ring was definitely coming from the top lever.

Phil, had one that pinged when fired. Fixed with a thin button shaped piece of rubber under the forend. Might give that a try...

Thanks Guys. The sound is definitely odd. I will take it out again next week and try these suggestions I appreciate these ideas.

I have a 20 ga. DHE that makes a feint, but distinctive chime sound on both bbls when fired. I absolutely love it, and would have paid extra to get it.
