Default My GB 32” 20ga. DHE

I have been meaning to post pictures of this Parker. I finally had a chance to shoot this gun for the first time last weekend at the RI Parker shoot. I bought this back in the fall, it was a gamble with a few dents in the barrels and some well worn wood. I had to take a chance...it was a 32" 20 gauge after all! Here is a link to the original thread: https://parkerguns.org/forums/showthread.php?t=37575

The listing on GunBroker can no longer be accessed. I wish I would have taken some “before” pictures as the work on the gun has made it something I am very proud to own.

Breck Gorman fixed the dents and rust blued the barrels and Brian Dudley refinished the stock. I could not be happier with the way it turned out.

The gun shot very well. It is choked M-IM/F. It’s on an 0 frame with 2 ¾” chambers and weighs 6lbs 9oz. and a 14 ¼ LOP.

This is such a great Parker now.

Beautiful gun. One of the best engraving periods.

That is a beautiful gun - it must really reach out for a 20! Just curious, with those dimensions, does it have any counterbalance in the stock?
