Welcome to the wonderful world of Parkers. The GH is a great place to start. They are wonderful in the field as well as in a display case. I killed half of my roosters with my G. A fun gun to shoot.

Rick,
Will do. I may get some made before the weekend is over. I need to document it at receipt, then at stages of restoration. Don't know how far that will go - possibly complete restoration. In my minds eye, I can visualize it as a complete restoration. Going to start paper work tonight, and apply for letter. Tom |

Jeff,
I plan to take it to SD this fall and try it on a few roosters. The bores are bright an I didn't notice any pitting can you give a suggestion for a 12g load or are there factory shells you can recommend. Hmmm, the first question probably should have been should I have any concerns with the barrel? Anyway, your thoughts please. Thanks, Tom |

Welcome. Is your GH a Damascus gun or a fluid steel gun?

Tom - the minimum wall thickness is the major concern with the barrels- the other thing to do is to hang the barrel by the hook from a finger or a loop of string and "ring" them - flick a finger nail against the barrels and you should get a soft clear bell like tone. This lets you know the solder is solid
as for shells, A lot of us like RSTs in the older guns http://www.rstshells.com/ lower pressure and recoil

Brian,
It's a Damascus barrel. After some reading on PGCA, and shop lights this morning, I'm 99% sure barrels were cut - measures 27". However, all is not lost for sure. I'll have the barrels checked and if not safe, or I don't feel comfortable with them, I can tube them for 20g or 28g. Worst case, it'll be a nice "wall hanger". |
