So, Mr. McCormack, when are you going to publish all the Hedderly material you've been sitting on for at least two decades now?

Re: 3" chambered 16 ga.
In that Edwin Hedderly, the editor of Western Field magazine, ordered a 16-gauge, 32-inch barrel, Parker Bros. A1 Special in May 1912, similar to the 20-gauge he ordered in April, there may well be something in his writings about it. As we can see from his order he specified 2 7/16 inch chambers, and "Draw bore barrels to shoot extra close" --
In Peter Johnson's book he pictured part of a page from a Hedderly article in Western Field showing one of the guns --
Hedderly's gun appeared on the cover of the June 1966 Guns & Ammo in well worn condition --
and in Larry Baer's 1974 book after a Pachmayr refurbishment --
Apparently the 20-gauge was lost coming or going from Pachmayr's engraver in West Germany.
