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?

evidence of refinish work reduces value...plus parker single triggers are notoriously unreliable...if you can, post pictures here and on the parker collector site...

Parker single selective triggers are very reliable. Bobby

I absolutely love my DHE 32" barreled 16. Beautiful guns.


May God bless America and those who defend her.

All of my Parker single triggers work just fine. Old Ed just doesn't have one to sell right now, so they are junk.

eight, because you dont have an issue at the moment, does not mean that many others have not experienced problems with parker single triggers...usual problems are failure to fire second barrel and doubling...so much so, that i try to avoid dealing with the damn things.
