I have just registered for this great site. I just thought I would introduce myself. I am an avid Parker shooter and collector and a member of the PGCA. I do all my sporting clay shooting with a Parker GHE 16ga. with 30" barrels. I am looking forward to meeting all of you. Dave... |

Thanx for the welcome. Actually my first 16ga. was a Remington Model 58 skeet gun. Kinda wish I still had it. I was a fun gun! Dave... |

Welcome Parker 16, I too am member of the PGCA. I collect mainly Parker 16 gauges. And my go to gun is a Parker GH, 28" Damascus gun. Lots of good information on this site, and some pretty good discussions get going. |

To Parker 16 and Dave M: Don't drive through San Rafael with those G grade Parkers or I'll have to have my gang of paid assassins relieve you of your goods. Parker Trojan |

Thanx for all your kind words. Now a question. I have a MEC JR that I use for reloading 20ga.My question is this. Should I buy a 16ga. machine or just get all the tooling from MEC to convert it from 20ga. to 16ga? What are your thoughts? Dave.... |

Get another press and buy used. the difference in cost is nil, and the convenience is invaluable. most used Mec Jrs sell for around $50 if you watch the market a bit and be patient. Plus, these presses are just about indestructable, so used is a non-relavent term. |

I bought all three of my Mec presses on eBay; you should get them for $50 or less. |
