The finish is outstanding, well kept since 1897. The bores are shiny and the gun is tight on face. Parker made 607 GH 16's. I'm fortunate to find one and at pretty modest price, since Cabela's doesn't always price their firearms accurately. �The constitution shall never be construed...to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.� Alexander Hamilton

Good Damascus barrels are more than strong enough for modern 16 gauge loads. Yours, as described will work fine. You may want to check the chamber to see that it isn’t 2 9/16 inches. If it is, 2 1/2 inch shells are available. Originally Posted by RJY66 I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton.

That's more than enough for some weekend clay's recreation. I load 2-3/4 Drams of FFG Black Powder behind 7/8 oz. of shot. �The constitution shall never be construed...to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.� Alexander Hamilton
