Description:
General Specs: Parker, Year 1906, 16 Gauge, 6lbs. 6oz., Chokes SK/LM, LOP 13 1/8", DAH 2 1/8", DAC 1 3/8"
Serial Number: 134945
Let’s face it…anybody that has handled many 16ga. Parkers recognize the amazing difference between one built on the “0” frame, or 20ga. frame, compared to the same gun built on the standard #1 frame. Most #1 framed 16ga. guns weigh well over 6 3/4lbs. while this sweet Parker weighs just 6lbs. 6oz. That is notable difference! Balanced perfectly on the hinge pin, the handling characteristics speak to the desirability of the “0” frame Parker 16. At the end of a long day afield, YOU WILL KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. This Parker, sn134945 built in 1906, is in superb, field ready condition, and equally comfortable breaking clays at the range. THERE ARE A LOT OF PARKER VH 16GA. GUNS FOR SALE, BUT ONLY A HANDFUL BUILT ON THE 20 GAUGE FRAME, AND THEY ALWAYS BRING A PREMIUM. So, how do you know which one to buy? IT IS EASY TO BUY THE WRONG GUN WITH COSTLY ISSUES. This Parker was owned for the last 10 years by a Vintage Firearms employee with unlimited gunsmithing services. At Vintage Firearms, Inc. (VFI) we inspect each gun closely before purchase, and on this gun we stripped the action to the smallest parts, Ultrasonic clean and scrub all parts to shiny metal, inspect all parts for integrity and function, lubricated and reassemble, making this a VFI CERTIFIED GUNS, a $275 service in our shop. VFI CERTIFIED GUNS have a 90-day mechanical warranty. Early American 16ga. guns were short chambered for 2 9/16” shells. PRESENTLY IT IS DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO FIND 2 ½” 16GA. SHELLS. BECAUSE OF THIS, VFI GUNSMITHS HAVE CAREFULLY MEASURED THE BARREL WALL THICKNESS AHEAD OF THE CHAMBER, HAVE LENGTHENED THE CHAMBERS TO 2 ¾” AND EXTENDED THE FORCING CONES TO 1 ½” TAPERS SO THAT YOU CAN SHOOT MODERN 2 ¾” FIELD LOADS THROUGH OUR GUNS. This is a $360 service in our shop. Modern chambers and long forcing cones make for softer recoil and better patterns. Other important factors for a smart purchase are the condition of the metal, screws, wood, and bores. The barrels have great bores, tight ribs, and fit tight on the breech face, with the top lever to the well right of center. This gun is ready to go! We provide the most comprehensive photography and specifications in the marketplace, information that allows you to make a good choice. Just remember, nowhere is it more apparent than in the gun world…you get what you pay for! You want an upland gun you can rely on. Buy one that is field ready and can safely shoot modern, available field loads. If you buy this Parker, you will have nothing left to do but take her bird hunting. What a great Parker you can own by acting now! Our gunsmiths can add length of pull gracefully if you wish, just ask how. This gun is set up for a small statured shooter. There are few opportunities for those with stock dimensions outside the norm. This one may be for you. SEE SPECIFICATIONS BELOW. Thanks for looking!
