Where are you right now?

PS---The frame size will be stamped on the water table.
Most 16 gauge guns are on larger than O frames. All 20 gauge guns, as far as I know, are on 0 frames.
A 16 gauge on a 0 frame is rare and a treasure.

John,
With all due respect, 16ga. 0-frame Parkers are not rare, however; they are commonly advertised as being rare by sellers. Also, all 20-ga. Parkers were not built on 0-frames, many were built on a 1-frame and some were built on a 2-frame.

Thanks for correcting me on this.
I am no Parker scholar having owned not more than a couple of dozen.
This is not a slam as I readily bow to superior knowledge
I have owned 3 after looking at a dozen or so 16 gauge guns. The three that I owned were on 0 frames and I bought them for that reason. I have owned 5 20 gauge guns and all were on 0 frames.
Never saw any others.
One lives long enough to learn something.
Never a student of Parker, I readily admit that I know little and could learn much.
My Parker days are over. Of all the guns I have owned, and that has been a few, Parker is the one name that I do not regret passing along.
Lindners live !!!!
Best,
John
