Light weight Parkers
I know the current rage is long barrels, and I like them also, but when I took that fork in the road that led me to SXS's 26" guns were the rage, particularly for grouse hunters like me who walked long and hard thru the steep and the deep.
Was discussing on another site, a GH 16 damascus 26" gun with an unstruck barrel weight of 2lbs 13 ounces--the gun weighed 5lbs 2 oz . Wow, that is lighter than any 20--or 28 ga Parker for that matter Ive ever seen.
I have a DHE 16 and a VH 20 both 26", both cyl/M per factory letter both at 6 lbs. How did they get them 14 oz lighter?
How light did they make them, and what is your lightest Parker?
