Out looking today at gun shops and came across a 16 bore DHE with 28" barrels that had a single trigger, I suppose a Parker trigger. Did not take it apart to see frame size but it appeared to be on the small frame.
Guy was asking a little over 7K for it. I would guess by looking at it closely it may have had some re-finish years ago but if it had it was rather a good job.
I was really looking a 20 bore in a VH or VHE with 28" barrels but this 16 bore would be a nice start.
What say you guys?

So edd what's the percentage of Parker single trigger fail? Is it mostly 12 ga 20ga 28ga 410 bore we should have a really long drawn out boring conversation about it:)

Just as a piece of Parker information, a #1 frame and a #0 frame Parker 16 or 20 does not always mean a "significant" weight difference or even any difference at all. I have 20 and 16, 0 frame and 1 frame, 26" and 28" Parkers, and they all weigh within 4 ounces of each other and the long barrels are not neccesarily heavier than the short barrels, and the #1 frame guns are not neccesarily heavier than the #0 frames. Each gun is an individual and no general statement can be made to cover all examples.

I have 20 and 16, 0 frame and 1 frame, 26" and 28" Parkers, and they all weigh within 4 ounces of each other and the long barrels are not neccesarily heavier than the short barrels, and the #1 frame guns are not neccesarily heavier than the #0 frames. Each gun is an individual and no general statement can be made to cover all examples. That's interesting. How do you get barrels of the same length (or even longer) but a larger gauge on a smaller frame to weigh as much or more than barrels of the same length but a smaller gauge? How can those larger barrels be made to fit on a smaller frame? The answer is less metal around larger holes. Which pretty much has to reduce weight . . . all else being equal. Unless maybe there's a really significant difference in the weight of the wood? The best example would be Repros with 16ga barrels on a 20ga frame--which means the ONLY difference is the barrels. I owned one. Weighed on my postal scale: 6/7 with the 28" 16ga barrels vs 6/11 with 26" 20ga barrels. The previous VH 16 1 frame gun I owned weighed 6/7 with 28" barrels. Current 28" VH 0 frame: 6/0. In that case, of course, we're talking different wood, so there are other factors at work.

The only 16 gauge Parker I have ever owned goes back to 2010. A local gun shop had a PH 16 on a number one frame, DT, EXT and 28" Damascus barrels, uncut, choke=s and chamber lengths unknown. Fit me rather well, but I didn't want to buy the then available RST shorter shells for it, took it with me up to SC clays at Sagola, Iron Mt. Mich Father's Day week-end, and found 2 interested parties, sold it and only shot it on clays once. So, not a really valid comparioson, is it now? between proof steel barrels and Damascus barrels, as to weight, balance and over-all handling. RWTF You had a Parker and sold it. Nice story there, Fox.
