I like it. I liked it more when it was in my rack, but my wife likes the new slate roof.

That’s a beauty! ( The gun. I assume the roof is, too.)

Nice 28 ! Jealous!
Certainly puts a firm measure on value when one is worth a new slate roof!

Jay, I know I can look this up myself, but thought you have already: how many were made in this configuration?

I've stood down in the front field and looked up at the roof many times, and maybe it's just my aging eyes, but it doesn't look anything like a 28ga Parker.

Keavin, that only covered the front half. It fairness, the first four feet is standing seam copper, and they aren't giving copper away.

Hi Gary, The Parker story list 91 special steel barrel G grades in 28ga. and 64 with 26" barrels. It's hard to figure out the other features/options. Maybe just a handful with ejectors, ball grip and 00 frame. I should have mentioned the weight, which is a wonderful 5lbs. 13oz.

The grip has to really shrink the number. What a special gun. Congratulations again.

Wonderful gun (magic wand) Jay!

If this is your first 28 gauge it won’t be your last, this I know!

In fact, you may even liquidate your collection of other doubles in order to facilitate aquiring more 28’s.

Dean, this is my first "higher" grade 28 and that has ejectors and the lighter 00 frame. You are right...there is a lot to like about a small bore Parker!
